I just feed my baby 1 oz. will the other 2nd oz still be good if I feed my baby in 2-3 hours?

No. Formula begins to grow bacteria within 2 hours and having it already exposed to baby's mouth introduces the bacteria to it. The cdc.gov website has great information on safe and proper formula handling.

No, u may feed baby within an hour after opening and then dispose of after that if baby hasnt finished it within that hour time frame.

I called Similac when I used this formula with this question. I was told to discard any formula after 20 minutes.

You have one hour to use it if it is the same bottle. If it is still in the container and hasn't been put in bottle/fed to baby, it's fine in fridge for 24 hours

These are perfect for babies! I started my LO on solids at 6 months and did homemade as well. It's a perfect starting amount. She's now 7 months and happy to eat 2 servings!

It will last much longer than you will need it for. The taste is powerful after 2 full days and it only takes a tiny dot to work. I bet .3oz would last well over a month.

I used this bottle the second week after my son was born. With my first, I used it within the first 48 hours due to trouble latching. Both took to it quite well.

We have been changing every three months or depending on our baby's sucking habits, when we notice she is tired after her feed, we assume the milk needs to flow faster. This is an indication we need replace to a larger size - Hope it helps

My wife breast feeds and so she just gives a drop everytime she feeds our baby. We haven't tried it in formula. Sorry

I used these as feeding bottles for the first 3 weeks because they ate the perfect size. I used the wide based nipples and the calmas and they work perfectly. Now that my baby is eating 4 oz per feeding I'm trying to figure out how full I can fill these to store and freeze milk in.

From what I understand, it begins to lose its potency once it's mixed as well as when it is warm. So based on that I would think that a lot of the benefits would deteriorate before the baby actually took the bottle. My suggestion would be to add it to the bottle they receive before you leave for daycare or the one they take once they get home :) I give it to my kids once a day and it seems to help but you can give them more if they need it according to the directions.

I'm not sure about 8 oz bottles but I have used the dr brown nipples for similac 2 oz ready to feed.

The 8oz comes with the number 2, slow flow. The 4 oz, comes with the number 1, newborn flow.

I think it depends if you are using as supplement to nursing or exclusively bottle feeding. Newborns eat every 2-3 hours. So you'll need enough so you aren't constantly doing dishes. A dozen? I nursed so I'm not sure when they move up to 8oz bottles but I think about 6 months.

I use 2 pumps in the morning and one pump in the evening, the 4oz lasts 1 month at this rate. I myself always order 2 bottles at a time. If this is not financially possible for you at least you will have some idea as to how long it will last for you. Blessing to you at this season in your life.

We started with 3 drops per oz, eventually down to 1 drop per oz. Our baby dd was able to fully process milk with out any added lactase by 8months old.

depends on the size of container. also, depends on how many scoops at a time you use. i have had my large container for atleast 4 months, and i still have enough for another month. i recently started using 2 scoops per bag for moms commode so it will be used up quicker. i can't tell you for sure how many scoops per container. i hope this helps

I only bought one because unfortunately my baby wouldn't drink this formula. I ended up donating it to his daycare. Sorry. Wish I could help.

1 ounce. It's perfect for a baby when they are starting on solids and as they get older and eat more, you can just thaw more cubes at a time.

To make sure I fill a bag, I will pump into the same bag throughout the day. My left breast rarely produces more than 2.5 oz at a time. So I use that bag in the am, at lunch and my 4pm pumping sessions until it's full. I try not to freeze a bag with less than 4 oz, but it happens. I have also used a bottle on one side and Twist bag on the other and filled it that way. I am starting to pump at night since my boy now sleeps most nights and use that bag right before bed and then in the morning. Just keep the milk cold between pumping sessions and you should be good to go. (Mind you, this is all based on personal judgement on what works with my milk and my kiddo.)
