Ok breastfeeding moms. Im new to this. My son is one week and im currently breastfeeding. Im also giving formula due to the fact im not producing much milk but i am pumping and BF more than formula . The doctor said it was fine fyi. So i fed him a bottle of BM about 10 minutes ago is it ok to continue him that bottle when he wakes up with in the hour or will it spoil?
Is it freshly pumped milk? If it is put it in the fridge. It won’t go bad. If it was cold before and heated up it needs used within the hour.
If he already started drinking from the bottle, he has to finish it within an hour. You can't save it longer than that. Reason being, bacteria will grow and multiply and can make him sick. If you pumped and he didn't drink from it yet, you can leave it at room temp for up to 4 hours or put it in the refrigerator/freezer for future use.
