Once she starts her bottle....

......how long do I have before I should throw it away?

Livvy has a terrible habit of having half her feed, then wanting the rest about 30 - 40 mins later.......I tend to bin it an hour after she's started it, but is that too long??

What do you all do?

Colton's tin said 1 hour.. however, he used to do that too and I would normally leave it up to 2 hours, he was always fine... and thats coming from a baby who would get sick if I made all his feeds up in the morning and just heated them (like I know lots of people do).. I used to have to make all his feeds seperate as he needed them or he would sick it all back up.

They usually say an hour. When Hannah was younger we threw it out immediately...now that she's older we put the bottle back in the fridge and reheat it later

It says on the pack 2 hrs but i would not leave it that long tbh, an hr at the most, my preferance. when I had my son it used to say 1 hour, not sure why it says 2 hrs now! may be because you have to make feeds up as you go along so it will not breed as much bacteria? x

Thank you all

Colton's Mom (sorry, I don't know your real name! ) - Olivia is the same, I can't make up her feeds more than 1 hour in advance as it often makes her sick - did you find thay Colton got better with that as he got older?
