How long can formula sit out?

What happens if you’re so sleep deprived that you miscalculate how long ago you made a bottle (thought it was just about a hour but it was really 2)? Is my baby gonna be sick?

Just might get a upset belly. They will be fine too.

No, but I wouldn’t make a habit out of it.

Baby will be fine if he or she isn’t hungry they won’t drink it anyways x

Keep a diary, write the date & time you feed your baby :slight_smile:

If he happily took the bottle don’t worry, just maybe expect a spit up or some gas.

It’s alllll good. No worries

It’s fine. :blush: hopefully you will be able to get some much deserved sleep soon. A lot of us have been there. Hugs to you!

Baby will tell you when he/she is hungry. But you need some sleep, get someone to help maybe?

If the milk was bad then baby wouldn’t have drank it. Trust me.

Might get gassy and have a bit of looser stool and bad smelling gas

Your baby will let you know when it’s hungry. Their feeding needs change over time as they grow and sticking to a static schedule won’t meet those changing needs.

We’ve all done…baby will be fine

Might get fussy, gassy, and an upset tummy. Not going to get food poisoning or anything from it. If it close to the hour mark or I have to ask myself “when did I make this” I just make a new bottle.

He will be fine mama, dont worry
