The formula instructions say an hour. We waste a lot, too! Do you qualify for WIC? The income requirements are hiring than you may think. GL!
P.S. I love your siggy pic. Wasn't that an amazing feeling leaving the hospital? But I was so, so disappointed that they didn't let me carry my babies out. I always dreamed of the day that my baby would be born and I could proudly carry him/her out. Darn it! Oh wells, I was just happy to get the heck out of there!
Its one hour if you don't refigerate. If DD doesn't finish a bottle and there is 1 ounce or more left we refigerate it for the next feeding. You can save it for up to 24 hours if it is refigerated.
We had the same problem. We would make smaller bottle and then had a container in the fridge with extra formula and if DS wanted more, we could add a little. I think this saved us $$$.
