How long can baby formula wait after preparation?

Prepared formula can sit at room temperature (below 25°C) for a maximum of 1 hour. If the baby has touched the bottle rim, saliva bacteria have mixed in, so the remaining formula must be consumed within this time — then it must be discarded. If you want to store it in the refrigerator, cool it immediately after preparation and use within 24 hours; it's not safe to let it sit at room temperature and then refrigerate. Microwaving is not recommended as it can create hot spots that burn the baby's mouth; if heating is needed, use a warm water bath instead. In any case, leftover formula is never reheated.
