I haven't seen any response, so am reposting.  Surely someone can tell me if
any of this is true.

I received an ad in with some other stuff today for a "special" bottle.  It
has a seperate place for powdered formula and the water so that it can be
mixed as needed.  Kinda like some I have seen in the hospital for some meds.
 The interesting part is the ad:  "Bacteria begins to grow the instant
powdered formula is mixed!  FDA: *always mix adn serve immediately.  USDA:
*Formula can spoil within 1hr. at room temp.  *Feed infants within 30 min. of
mixing.  Healthy Baby, Happy Mom."
Anyone have these figures from the sourses- FDA AND USDA?  I'd like to use
them in bf classes.  Since I have never fed my children formula I was not
"up" on the latest time frames.  In my past life of working in a NICU we used
to use the formula for 2 feeds, a 3 hour time frame; pouring it into another
container for the feeding to minimize waste.
