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.
