Store Formula Resolution For Free

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.

Baby formula doesn't have to be warm. It's fine to feed your baby cool or even cold formula. It's all up to your baby's preference ? they may prefer it warm, at room temperature, or even chilled, and all of those options are just fine.

If not used immediately, when made up infant formula must be stored in a sterilised bottle or container at the back of the fridge, in the centre where it is coldest. Discard un-used infant formula after 24 hours if refrigerated.

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.

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.

Ready-to-use and concentrated liquid formula can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Cover or seal opened containers of Enfamil powder formula, store at room temperature, and use within 30 days. Throw away any remaining powder after that time.

But if you need to prepare infant formula in advance, refrigerate the formula below 5?C within 1 hour of making it, and use within 24 hours. Store it in the back of the fridge where it's coldest, not in the door where it's warmer. If you can't keep the formula cold, throw it away after one hour at room temperature.
