Hi all

My daugther is 5 weeks old, and usually takes most of her bottle, but some times lilkes to have a break then go back to it an hour later. she is on 5 ouces at the mo but sometimes takes 3, is it ok to give her the rest of the same bottle and how long can you keep the bottle for, my mums says 1 hour?

With our daughter Who is now 10 months, we did what you did when she was younger. You can keep it and try as many times as you want as long as its within that hour. If you don't warm the bottle (she liked it room temp) when its first made, you can refrigerate it and use it again within 24 hours of making it ( we then warmed the bottle to take the chill off it). Hope this helps?

yes your mom is right, it is an hour otherwise germs can start to spread in there

Congrat's on your little baby daughter B.

yeahbutnobut - If a bottle has been started it should be disposed of after 1 hour regardless of when it was made. You should never refridgerate it and offer it after this time as bacteria could have entered the bottle from the baby's mouth and started to grow.
