Formula question?

So if i have prepped a bottle and left it at room temp to cool down, and my baby starts to drink it an hour and a half after it’s been made, is it ok for her to go back to for just 30 mins or an hour? Might be a silly question but it’s all confusing🤣 Just wondering as i know babies can go back to the bottle within an hour after starting to drink it.. Thanks!

Hey hun, Formula can be left out for 2hrs so long as the milk has been drunk within 2 hrs of making the bottle you’re fine x

Once they have started drinking from it, it can only be used for that one session. It's not safe to then come back to it later. Once their mouth touches the bottle, it can no longer safely sit around.

I leave my baby have it as after 2 hours if I’m out, I just play it by how I feel about it rather than what people say as it hasn’t made my baby bad or anything, obviously just not leave it from morning until night x

If baby has touched it it’s an hour

I’ve always gone with the 2 hour rule and it’s never harmed my babies. (Sometimes a bit over if I forget) 😂 xx

it’s so confusing!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

I would just say it’s like the already made formula you can buy as I don’t see the difference

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
