how long do you think it would be ok to store pre made bottles in the fridge?

Only asking cos I'm giving her colief and it says the drops have to be put into the bottle then left for half a hour now that's fine during the day but won't be for her night feed I don't want to really have to keep her up for half a hour we have trouble getting her back off as it is.
So if I made her bottle up as normal then put it in the fridge until she wakes for her night feed how long would you say it would be ok for? A friend said around 12hrs but I just want to ask other mummys too! We've suffered so much with her having colic and reflux I just don't want to make her ill

I think it's up to 24 hours, but I'd personally stick to the 12 hours.

I store mine for 24 hours I make the days/nights bottles in one go and add 2 drops of colief to each - the drops added if making up in advance should be left for 4 hours before giving to lo

They say up to 24 hours. I usually make up a few bottles at a time, so usually they're in the fridge for no longer than 10 hours, but I have made them and kept them in up until 24 hours!

Upto 24 hours is fine, but 12 is better. xx

This is like what I've started doing, I make up two bottles at a time, then when I use one of them I make another to store. I've been doing the hot water flask method and making as she needed it but her feeding is so random sometimes and it's much, much easier to premake them.

I do 24 hours too.
