I thought.... (FF related and possibly flameful)

That if you make a bottle and your LO didn't finish it, you could put it in the fridge and that would stop the break down of bacteria, and keep it from spoiling. Am I wrong?

DS almost always finishes his bottles so I actually don't know. Good question. I know if it's at room temp it's good for an hour.

With breastmilk, it can be used up to I think 6 hours after the LO takes the bottle, but with formula it has to be used within an hour or thrown out.

It's supposed to be good for only a short amount of time (a few hours maybe??) after using it.

I often keep them though (flameful yes. Do I care? No. LOL) for a few hours and let her finish it - I'll either dump usually it into a new bottle. I don't do it all the time but once in a while won't hurt.

You are supposed to throw it out an hour from when they started the bottle. The fridge doesn't stop the bacteria.

With formula you are not supposed to... but I have if there is a lot left. They have to finish it within an hour.

I'll keep them in the fridge, especially if I make an 8 ounce bottle and he only drinks 4 or 5 - I'll try to give him the rest a little later on. Alimentum is expensive! I'll put a different nipple on it before giving it to him again.

I used to do it with DD#1. If I knew she'd finish it within a couple of hours, I just stuck it back in the fridge. Technically, you aren't supposed to, but we never had a problem.
