If you prepare formula ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator. You can use pre-made formula for up to 24 hours. Open containers of ready-made formula, concentrated formula, and formula prepared from concentrate can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.

If you cannot find infant formula and you usually give your child a regular infant formula, you can give your 6 month to 12 month old child some pasteurized (not raw), unflavored, whole cow's milk. Cow's milk should only be given for a short time (no more than a week) as instructed by your child's doctor.

It's more accurate to add the formula after you have measured your water. Adding formula to the bottle before adding the water can cause an error of 1?2 ounces as well as result in chunks of formula that don't dissolve. You should measure the water first.

Prepared infant formula can spoil if it is left out at room temperature. Use prepared infant formula within 2 hours of preparation and within one hour from when feeding begins. If you do not start to use the prepared infant formula within 2 hours, immediately store the bottle in the fridge and use it within 24 hours.

It is completely fine to serve your baby's formula cold that is cold or at room temperature, although not all babies are going to want to consume it this way. Getting your little one used to drinking cold formula may take a few tries, but with time and consistency, most babies will adjust to formula feeding this way.

"Preparing and storing infant formula in advance is not recommended." If you are looking to save time, bottles can be sterilized and filled with the appropriate amount of boiled, sterilized water ahead of time to decrease the preparation process during feeding time. Refrigerate to cool down and use within 24 hours.

It's fine to give your baby room temperature or even cold formula. If your baby prefers warm formula, place a filled bottle in a bowl of warm water or run under warm water. Test the temperature by putting a couple of drops on the back of your hand or wrist. The formula should feel lukewarm ? not hot.

You should always use warmed formula to feed baby immediately and never reheat it. The ideal is to prepare formula as and when needed.
