A member asked:
Is it harmful for a baby to drink formula that's been in the refrigerator for a little bit ova 24hrs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baby Formula: Baby formula, (that has been appropriately mixed if powdered), has a refrigerator life of 48 hours. As long as it has been in the refrigerator the entire time, it is ok. More than 48 hours, it should be discarded. Likewise, if it wasn't in the refrigerator for the entire time, it should be discarded.
