How long can already-opened baby food stay in the fridge?

Question

Jarred food which has not been contaminated with her saliva.

Answer 1

According to the Gerber label: Use within 2-3 days of opening.

So...there ya go :)

Answer 2

As long as it has not been contaminated with saliva, most are 2-3 days. Since most specify 2-3 days and not 3 days, I would say 2 days would be fine for most. Be sure to refrigerate right away after eating and refrigerator is at the appropriate temp.

Answer 3

Usually the jar will say how long it is allowed to be kept. Most companies say two days. Homemade baby food can keep much longer, in cubes in the freezer that you can thaw when needed. It's better for the baby, cheaper in the long run (no wasting half-full jars), and variety is a lot easier to get.

Answer 4

Once the jar is opened, you have about 2-3 days to use the remainder. As long as you don't feed your baby straight from the jar. If you do, you must throw the jar out once baby is done eating.

Answer 5

1 - 2 days

Answer 6

i usually left it in the fridge until the next day. im sure that its still good for a few days, but i always ended up opening another jar. as long as its in the fridge it should be ok. but if your not sure just pitch it, they are what like 59cents.

Answer 7

I keep mine for a max of 3 days, you know because when you first start to feed baby a jar lasts 3 days but I wouldnt keep it past that.

Answer 8

The info on our babyfood jars say 2 days max.

Answer 9

Absolutely no longer than 24 hours. It's probably fine for 48 hours, but who wants to be responsible for making their baby sick? Don't chance it!

Answer 10

2 day only
