Hi All,

Have been bf-ing for 6 months now, but have a box of C&G stage 1 formula from when AJ was born, gave him a couple of bottles when I was ill (he was 3-4 weeks) my Q is.... does the powder go "off" it says on box use within 4 weeks of opening?

I decided the other day to use this formula when mixing purrees/baby cereals etc so I made up a bottle and it looked really powdery, I kept shaking it but wasn't convinced it was ok and ended up throwing that bottle out :blush: The water had cooled for longer than 30 mins but didn't think that would cause a problem? :shrug: then I read the box and saw it said to use within 4 wks of opening!

What did I do wrong!??!?!? or is the powder "off"? I just thought that the food would taste nicer for AJ mixed with milk rather than water but can't really be bothered to express such small amounts!

Any opinions appreciated!
:D

EDIT: I wouldn't have thought that a powder would go off within 4 weeks?
 
It shouldn't be used now, it may not appear to have anything wrong with it, but the warning is there for a reason and it could give your baby a bad tummy, so just not worth it for the price of a tin of formula.

If you need to use a bit of milk and don't have formula then cows milk wont do him any harm in cooking (its only a no no as a formula replacement!).
