But then again, I keep the silver foil on it and always keep the lid on tight. And I store it in a dark, cool cabinet away from any moisture or heat (so not the cabinet above the stove!)<br /> So far so good..he's never had a bad reaction. Nowadays they don't last a month anymore though:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-583296 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:09:07 +0000 regberadaisy 583296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep a tub at daycare and it's been there way longer than a month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-583040 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:18:55 +0000 twinmama 583040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think as long as it's in a relatively cool, dry place, it'd be ok to push it longer. But if your kitchen gets really warm and steamy, I'd probably toss it. Ours never lasts that long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-583026 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:17:17 +0000 betsyboop 583026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't when I was mixing BM and formula because I didn't even realize that that was recommended until I read the canister (after a month had passed). I probably used it 2 months after I had opened it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-583020 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:16:33 +0000 sera_87 583020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours lasts a month or more, so no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-583015 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:15:03 +0000 prettylizy 583015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little google searching tells me that lots of moms just use it. Some suggested keeping the can in the freezer (as per her Doc's rec). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-583003 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:11:39 +0000 loveisstrange 583003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours never lasts that long, so I have no idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-582979 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:07:16 +0000 autumnlove 582979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tossed a tub out after LO threw up after drinking a bottle. I will ever know if it was because the formula was over a month old or because she drank too fast but I did it for my peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-toss-your-formula-after-its-been-open-for-a-month#post-582922 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 13:58:14 +0000 mediagirl 582922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am having to supplement my daughter's bottles at daycare because I'm not pumping enough right now for her. I'm giving her a bottle of formula and two bottles of milk. I noticed the can of formula said to use it within a month of opening. Do you toss your formula if the can has been open longer than a month? Should I? </p>
