Question regarding powder formula

Genbot

Our LO was having issues with his bowel movements when we first started him on formula (they were infrequent, usually every 2 days and they were very painful for him and they were thick/pasty/cement-like).  My husband thought it might be bc of the powder formula and our lactation nurse also said that it might be better to use the Ready-To-Feed in the meantime, until his digestive system matured a bit.

 That being said, we decided that we would wait until the 2 month mark to try powder formula again (which is today).  We had just opened a brand new tub of powder formula right before Christmas and it has just been sitting in the pantry since we decided to use RTF for a while.  Since today is January 27, I'm guessing it has been about a month and the container says to use within one month of opening.  So, I'm looking for advice - would you use this powder formula, which he would probably finish within the next week or toss it?   Your input is greatly appreciated.  Many thanks.

I'd use it. But I'd stop using it if LO had a bad reaction to it.

If you are in doubt, then toss it.  My thoughts are rather waste twenty or thirty dollars instead of having a sick little one.  But since it's powder, it should have a longer shelf life.
