The directions on these say throw away after an hour. I was fortunately able to breastfeed E until he was 5 months old and after that started using powdered formula.
Here's where the wasteful mistake began. I assumed that you couldn't use the powdered formula if it sat around for an hour, throwing away probably about 2 large cans of formula. Finally, I read the package directions for the powdered formula. A bottle can sit at room temperature for 2 HOURS and then put in the fridge for up to 24 HOURS! Something you may not know about me, I am frugal. Becoming a mom has made me uber-frugal. In essence, in the last 3 months I have basically thrown away $80 or more
Learn for my silly mistake!
Enjoy this random post :)
I keep mine out for up to 4 hours (just like regular food). I'm frugal too. My kids have never had an issue with 4 hour old formula. :) It might be bad, but they are healthy and fine. :)
