Panicking- baby drank milk out of a dirty bottle

Me, my daughter and husband all sleep in the same bed at night. When I got into bed, I noticed an old dirty bottle on the windowsill that I had been looking for. I passed it to my husband and asked him to please PLACE IT ON THE SIDE TABLE NEXT TO HIM so I can wash it in the morning. The bottle had old milk traces in it, and was unwashed for about 2 days 🤢 My husband then randomly decided in the middle of the night to put the bottle in the kitchen, and he did not wash it. He left it in the space where all the clean bottles usually are 🤦🏽‍♀️ so when I got up to make a night feed I grabbed it, in my half asleep state and made formula in it. The dirty bottle. Thinking it was clean. Now I’m concerned for my daughters health. Should I call 111? What should I do? This seems like a severe food poisoning risk to me

If this happened in the night it seems like enough hours have passed and lo is fine that you will probably be fine. Just keep an eye out for sickness or diarrhoea.

@Rachel it was around 7am this morning (I know I said night feed but we don’t “wake up” for the day until around 10 here) She’s been acting totally normal and doesn’t seem sick at all 😭 I’m hoping the hot shot from when I was making formula might have killed some bacteria.. I will wait and see

Yeah I’m sure the hot shot will have helped and the hot shot in the original bottle.
