How long can I store made up bottles in the fridge?
I’m trying formula milk again and can’t find where it says how I can store pre-made bottles. I know ideally you should make them up as you go but it’d be easier if I can store some.

Bottles last maximum 24 hours in the fridge. You make them up with boiling water straight from the kettle and then flash cool them standing in cold water for maximum 10 minutes then into the back of the fridge (not the door as it’s not cold enough there). Hope this helps. I get mine out of fridge and then warm up for baby when needed x
Really really helps! I’ve only been breastfeeding so it’s all new and confusing xxx
. I found it all hard to work out at first but have been making his bottles this way for about 4 months and has been absolutely fine x
24hrs in the fridge
I find warming them up from cold takes ages so what I do (for a 6oz bottle) is measure out 4oz of boiling water in a bottle leave it on the side to cool it can stay there all day. Then just do a 2oz hot shot and the powder then add the 4oz in and it’s perfect temp only takes minutes x
You won’t find any official advice as it’s not recommended due to risks of rotavirus and gastroenteritis.
