    yeah i am confused too! ok, so bub is having a feed at 12, has only half the bottle so you put it in the fridge.. you can then re-heat it once within 1 hour.. but one hour from 12 or one hour from when you put it in the fridge for later?

    and also.. i have the same qn as above.. can you re-heat it if bub is taking ages to drink it an can you do this more than once?

    sometimes i think it is easier to breastfeed just cause there arent any hard and fast rules!

    i make up the whole days worth of bottles and fridge them.
    it can only be heated once cause if you keep going hot cold hot cold the bacteria will grow.
    must be only heated once and drunk within the hour, otherwise has to be tossed and a new bottle made up. cannot be heated, cooled then reheated within the hour either.
