Do I have to dump this bottle?

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
So, B was sick today and didn't want to eat.  I have a bottle leftover that she didn't touch--it has been the fridge all day.  It is 5oz BM pumped yesterday and 2oz formula from one of those little travel bottles that was opened yesterday morning.  I know if it was all BM it would be fine, but I'm not 100% sure how it works with formula.  Anyone?  I'd hate to toss 5oz of BM unnecessarily . . .

    I think you are supposed to use formula within 24 hrs.

    I thought it was 48 hours. FWIW, I'd use it.

    I think it would be fine. I'd probably use it. I'd hate to waste the BM.

    I'm no help on the formula part but I hope you don't have to dump it.  I would cry!  I swear it's like liquid gold. Hope Betsy is feeling better!

    Just read the formula bottle and it is 48 hrs.

    OK, so the general consensus seems to be that if I use it tonight, it's fine. 

    I usually just give her the boob when I'm at home.  I dreamfeed her at around ten.  Is there any reason to think that a dreamfeeding with a bottle will not go as smoothly as a nursing dreamfeed?

    Now that L is exclusively bottle-fed her BM, I dreamfeed her lying right in her crib. She latches right on the nipple and drinks like a pro! You shouldn't have an issue.

    Aw, but then we can't snuggle!  Not sure I can give up sleepy baby snuggles.

    And when did you start EP?  And why didn't I know that? Awareness fail.
