A member asked:
My son is 5 month old, he don't want to eat, i made him a bottle and he ate it only after 40 min. was it still safe to eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Formula or breast mik consumed within 60 minutes is perfectly safe to eat. However, if they hae put their mouths to it and spit/saliva has gotten into the bottle, at about 1 hour break down of the milk can progress to the point where it should be thrown out and a fresh bottle made.
