Does baby formula actually go bad one hour after u make the bottle?

Answer 1

Only at room temperature, in the refrigerator it can be kept for up to 24 hours. Even at one hour its not technically sour, but bacteria starts to grow in it and multiplies very quickly at warmer temperatures.

Answer 2

The one hour rule is this... If your baby has begun to drink from the bottle, you need to discard it within one hour of the feeding's start. The reason is that your baby's mouth has a lot of bacteria that can enter the bottle and cause it to go bad.

If you've made the formula and a feeding has not be done, then you can store it in the fridge for up to 24-48 hours, depending on the brand. It should say on the cannister.

Sometimes, if my daughter eats only a little bit of her formula and falls asleep, I'll immediately stick it in the fridge. If she wakes up or wants her bottle within 2 hours, I'll give the rest to her. After that, I toss it. I serve my daughter's bottles at fridge temp as she has pre-mixed concentrate formula. She has never had problems with cold bottles. So there's no rules regarding my heating it up. Now... this is against what the "recommendation" is, but I've never had a problem with it. I'd just use your gut instinct about it. I wouldn't let it sit out at room temp and then give it back after an hour though.

When my daughter was born, the nurse took her for the pediatrician to see her and said she'd be back in 20 minutes. Two HOURS later, I bullied my way into the special care nursery to see a nurse giving her a bottle of formula. She also had prick marks all over her - even on her SCALP - from them trying and failing to get an IV in. They then told me she might die, and rushed her to the NICU at another hospital, where I was told she was fine and they'd just monitor her for a couple of days. While she was in the NICU, they fed her formula because they had this insane need to know exactly how many cc's she ate (she was almost 9 lbs, not a preemie, no need to be so anal about how much she ate) and I couldn't pump a drop. I was also sent home from the hospital with a full-size can of Good Start, and a teeny tiny tube of Lansinoh. *rolls eyes* All reasons I will not be giving birth in a hospital EVER again....

Answer 5

The formula I use (Enfamil AR) after the bottle is made I can store it at room temp for 2 hours. It does say that once feeding begins, not to save anything thats left. It could depend on the type of formula you use. Check your formula can for the specifics.

Answer 6

Not if you keep it in the fridge, although it is better to make it up as you need it. I usually have the bottles of water in the fridge and add the formula as I need it. When my first son went to childcare I would make up enough bottles of formula for the whole day, and he never suffered any ill effects from this.

Answer 7

you can keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed sterile container. Once you use it from the bottle for example, they do say to through it out cause bacteria can build up on it.

I myself dont listen to that rule. If its hot i do. If not hot, i keep it up to an 1.5 hrs but i do not put it in the fridge and heat it up gain.
