Re: Formula debate today..see if you can help
toss the remaining milk/formula
wash the bottle.
we actually only have 2 that we rotate. no need for any more since he's only drinking one at a time.

Re: Formula debate today..see if you can help
As you can see everyone does their own thing. As others have said the "rule" is to throw out any unusedc formula once the bottle has been drunk from. Personally-I did that until my kids were about 6-7 mponths then I relaxed a bit. I always used a new bottle. I had 14 bottles for twins. My bottles went through the dishwasher every night

1. I agree with DRMom, when DS was tiny, I would have tossed the formula, but as he got older, I would keep it.
2. We had a ton of bottles, so once he finished one, it went into the dishwasher and we used another for the next feeding.

Re: Formula debate today..see if you can help
I would toss that formula and I would use a new bottle for the next feeding. Too afraid of bacteria on the nipple

Re: Formula debate today..see if you can help
OK..let me set the scenario:
You fill a bottle for a feeding to 5 oz. DC drinks 3 of those, leaving 2 oz left in the bottle..and falls asleep for two hours.
1.) What do you do with the remaining 2 oz?
throw it out
2.) How do you clean bottles if you fed at 10:00 am, and will feed again at 1pm? Do you just rinse the bottle? or..Do you use a completely new bottle?
i use a new bottle. im sterilize every bottle after every use - im wierd like that

I personally used a clean bottle every time, never just rinsed and reused. I also threw out the formula if it wasn't finished because I was told it was bad to reuse it.

Re: Formula debate today..see if you can help
When my kids were on formula never kept a bottle longer then an hr. Would just throw the rest away. As for washing bottles I washed them at night and had enough bottle to use through out the following day.

1. Throw out the 2 oz. Because of bacteria you are not supposed to use any formula left out after an hour.
2. I use a clean bottle for each feeding.
