do we toss the rest?  or is it still good for an hour or two?

    my understanding is that its good for several hours.  Try offering it to your LO at the next feeding.  I dont think you are allowed to warm it up again though

    It will keep for a few hours, but then you have to toss it.

    We put it back in the fridge and reuse in the next bottle.

    I put back in fridge and offer one more time (and I do sometimes warm it up again) and we have never had any problems.  Sometimes I put a new nipple on the bottle (but sometimes I don't.)  If the contents of the bottle are not finished at this second feeding - it gets tossed after that. 
    Wheee!

    We use it again.  We often change the nipple.  We will warm it up again too.  If it's not used at that point, the out it goes!
    I give up trying to add my kids' photos. Just know that they are adorable.

    We leave ours out on the counter with a cap on it. This leaves it at room temp since you shouldn't warm it twice. Try at the next feeding even if it's a couple hours. We've never had a problem and neither has DS.
