How long is powdered formula good for once mixed?

jolibebe

I BF LO but also have to supplement.  LO is on Enfamil Premium.  None of the formula mixes I have read show how long you can mix and store formula for?  How long is it good for once in the fridge?  How long is is good for at room temp?

TIA!

My can says must be used within 2 hours if not refridgerated.

  Must be discarded one hour after the start of feeding. 

Can be stored in fridge for 24 hours once mixed.

It should say on the container.

Thank you, this was very helpful.  I'm not sure why my container doesn't read this anywhere.  I even had others read the container and it's not there.  Thanks again!

On my Similac cans, it's in tiny print in a place you wouldn't think to look.  It's not you.  :-)

Okay, I'll check again, thank you!

For some reason the times are different for Similac and Enfamil (we go back and forth) but for Enfamil it's up to 24 hours in the fridge and 1 hour at room temp.
