how long can a bottle of formula stay out for and be good? I know it says discard after one hour of them starting to eat, but say my son falls back asleep & doesn't need the bottle anymore & hasnt drank any. but it's mixed already, how long can I keep it room temp?
@savvylynn1, I did it when I first had my son if he didn't finish it after reheating I tossed it. I only used those pre mixed ones in the beginning when I had a hard time breastfeeding
If he started drinking from it, it's good up to one hour, if you mixed it and he didn't feed from it it's good for 2 hours. It's not recommend to reheat because of chances of bacteria.
Never reheat! And it's good for 2 hours after he eats from the bottle.
