FTM Formula Question

This may seem silly but I am really unsure so... After lo has a room temp bottle (not heated) can I refrigerate and then heat the left over portion for another feeding? Because we are supplementing to get his weight up I never know how much he will actually take. Its anywhere from 1-3oz. I hate to see it go to waste but I also dont want him to get sick.

TIA

We spent two weeks in the NICU and I was supplementing with breast milk and we were told not to refrigerate that.  However,  you can refrigerate formula mixed with water for 24 hours but I think if mixed with breast milk, it's recommended to use immediately and then toss.

You can't refrigerate what's left in a bottle he has already eaten from.  Your best bet is to make a bottle that you estimate will get  him through the day and pour from that into the one you'll feed from on a feeding by feeding basis.

Because they backwash bacteria into the bottle.
