feeding

hi mums! had my little boy 3 days ago. we are currently using aptamil formula which he copes well with, on the tub it says you can make the bottle and use within 2 hours. we have done this a couple of times due to him feeding and then falling asleep and waking up then wanting a feed(within the 2 hours) does anyone else do this?

Do you mean he starts drinking, falling asleep and then drinking that same bottle? I think they recommend that once baby has started drinking the bottle, it’s only good for 1hr as bacteria has been introduced. You can make up a couple bottles and once cooled completely, put them in the fridge and they’re good for 24hrs x

As Erin said, once baby lips touched the bottle you have to use it within the hour, it’s 2h only if not fed to the baby. My suggestion split it into two bottles so you’re not wasting as much

ok thanks guys! didn’t realise this they don’t make it clear on the tin!!

Don’t worry, I did exactly same until I had a girl from NCT coming over for feeding support and she advised me of this
