aptamil tub says use within 2 hours....

[dovehouse]

i was under the impression it had to be used within an hour..but on the tub of the formula it says 2 hours.....can we do this???

I guess if it says so! I always use within an hour at the most 1hr 30, but if it says its ok.. then i guess its up to u!

If the feed has been made up but not started then maybe 2 hours, but if LO has started the feed bin it after an hour max?

Agree with above.

I fast cool my bottles in bowls of cold water and pop them in the fridge, but if i'm taking them out of the house where they can't be kept cool i try and use them within 2 hours - if i've started a feed and my lo doesn't want the bottle i'd use the remaining within the hour or throw it away.

I use Aptamil and I keep it out of the fridge for up to 2 hours. But in a heatwave you should use it sooner

If it says 2 hours then I'm sure that's fine - they're not going to risk a lawsuit by putting something that would be dodgy.

I've used it up to 1hr 45 minutes and it's been fine.

Agree with all the above. If the company say 2 hours in reality it's probably safe for a bit after that too as the company will be trying to protect it's own back. I always try to use up a feed LO has started within an hour or so through just to be sure

my health visitor said if you make it up fresh you can use it foir 2 hours wether lo has drank from it or not but if you make the bottles up with water and fridge them untill needed like i do its only ok for 1 hr xx

I use Aptamil and I always try and make sure the bottle is used within an hour, even tho it says 2 hours on the tub. I have gone past the hour before and it's done her no harm, but she very rarely goes back to a bottle anyways

Rebecca is the opposite! She never drinks a whole bottle in one go; rather she snacks and will have half in one go, followed by the other half about 3/4 hr later. I put the bottle in a thermos bag so it doesn't get cold and as long as it's well within the 2 hour limit I've no problem giving it to her.
