Baby formula is good for 24 hours in the refrigerator after it is prepared.

There are TWO guidelines for how long prepared formula is good for, outside of refrigeration, before it spoils.

1. If the baby has drank from the bottle, it is good for 1 hour. This is because bacteria builds up and is not safe to drink.

2. If the baby has NOT drank from the bottle, it is good for 4 hours. This is the guideline that hospitals use when using formula for continuous feeds on a pump, which are not refrigerated. So, if it's good for the hospitals, it should be good for you.

When traveling, most mothers keep the water and formula separated, then mix as they go. That way it is always fresh.

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 40 degrees and Below 140 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.

Never take any risks with infant formulae; they are for babies, with other words for those, whose digestion system is in full development. Those formulae are mostly highly sophisticated modified dairy products, where the protein levels are lowered and the carbohydrate levels are increased in comparison with cow's milk. These products are ideal feeding grounds for bacteria and fungi. Always follow the instructions on the packaging by the letter. Specially the instructions regarding: how long you can keep the product after having opened the container. If there are no instructions on the packaging, change to another brand.
