Home Care Advice - Formula Storage

Formula Storage

  • If possible, prepare your child's formula fresh for each feed. However, if formula needs to be made in advance:
    • Prepared formula should be stored in refrigerator and must be used within 24 hours
    • Open cans of formula should be kept in refrigerator, covered and used within 24 hours
    • Prepared formula left at room temperature for more than 1 hour should be discarded
    • Leftover used formula should always be discarded (Reason: It's contaminated)
