How long is formula good for?

kem717

I am supplementing with formula and have been using the ready-to-feed.  I have a bunch of cans though.  Once it's open, does it shorten the shelf life?  How long is it good for?  I give maybe one bottle a day and don't want to waste any of this precious, pricey stuff!

It should say right on the can.

We use powder and once it's mixed, it stays good in the fridge up to 24 hours. ?Once he drinks from it, I think it's 1 hour.?

Agree with pp it should say on can.  That said, Good Start ready-to-feed is good in the fridge for 48 hours after opening.  Not sure what kind you're using.

When I used the cans it was good once refridgerated for either 24 or 48 hours. I think it was 24 still. You might want to switch to the can stuff. It's cheaper if you aren't going to be using the whole liquid can...
