I forgot about the formula in the cabinet and its expiration date just passed. Is it harmful to give my baby formula that's a few days past the date?

I don't recommend giving your baby formula that has passed its expiration date. Even if it's just a few days past, the formula's nutrient value fades over time and vitamins, especially vitamin C, break down quickly. If the package was opened, the risk of bacterial growth increases even more. The safest thing is to not use that formula and buy a new one. If your baby did have a little of this expired formula, don't panic, but watch for any discomfort, diarrhea, or gas — if you notice anything, check with your pediatrician.
