Store Formula Paper For Free

Bottles prepared ahead of time need to be covered and stored in the refrigerator. Throw them out if you haven't used them within 48 hours.

Use prepared formula within two hours of mixing and within one hour of starting your baby's feeding. Once you've fed your baby their formula, make sure to discard any formula left over in the bottle. It's no longer safe to be consumed since it's been contaminated with your baby's saliva and can grow unsafe bacteria.

Follow the instructions for the product. Once opened, if the liquid infant formula is not to feed to the infant immediately: Pour into a sterile food-grade container. Store immediately in the coldest part of the fridge: at the back, in the centre.

Once a bottle is prepared or taken from the fridge for feeding, use the formula within 1 hour or throw it out. You cannot re-refrigerate formula once it has been warmed or reaches room temperature. The reason experts recommend you throw away unused formula is because bacteria can begin to grow.

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.

Cold breast milk or formula may cause discomfort and gas in babies with digestion issues or stomach sensitivities. However, such occurrences are quite rare. If you're concerned about your babies gas or digestive health, we encourage you to consult your pediatrician.

If your baby did not finish the bottle, use the leftover milk within 2 hours after the baby is finished feeding. After 2 hours, leftover breast milk should be discarded.
