? Similac ready to feed formula

kaylaw05

this may be stupid but I read the label and can't see where the Similac ready to feed formula needs to be refridgerated. Does it or not? thanks

The little bottles? No, not unless you open them.

ETA: The bigger container does after it's been opened, then it's good for 72 hours.

This.  They did tell us in the NICU that if LO doesn't finish the bottle (if you use a nipple right on the container it comes in) you need to toss it.

They told us after its opened and its been sucked on, it needs to be tossed after an hour. But you have an hour in case LO needs more. (That usually goes for all formula- spit starts to break down then enzymes in formula and breastmilk I believe after an hour- thats the state rule we had to follow at the daycare center I work at)
