LO likes to carry his milk around after meals and sip on it. He actually drinks more after each meal than during. I let him have it for an hour or so after he's finished eating, so about an hour and half since it was poured. Is that too long? Can he have it longer?

Is this breast milk or cows milk? Is the cup insulated?
-
Either one, I think an hour or two is fine! I sometimes have milk with dinner that I don't finish and then will finish a couple hours later with dessert. It's never bothered me!
And breast milk can be out for 5-6 hours I think and still be good.

@T.H.O.U.: it's cow's milk. it's not insulated, just a regular sippy.
i don't know if this matters at all but i heat the milk up before giving it to him. he refuses cold milk at this point.

@Adira: thanks!!

@jmarionsmith: Now that you mention that you heat it up, it might matter, but still, I have milk in my coffee that I sometimes don't finish for a couple hours, so I would think that it would be fine.

I would shoot for 1 hour, but max 2-3 hours.
-
An hour is my max.
-
I'm pretty conservative with 45 min to an hour or so.

@Adira: @T.H.O.U.: @locavore_mama: @sumer08: thanks ladies, i'll keep it to an hour, max!

Is it organic? I thought I recall reading that the organic milk actually does not require refrigeration. Something about the ultra pasteurization, which is why the boxed milk does not need to be refrigerated. So, if it doesn't have to be refrigerated to start with, I think you are okay.
