Formula

How strict r u when it comes to formula? I have 1 big can of formula that expires in March 2021. However I read that once the can is opened, best to use up all contents within 1 month. Any mummies out there use the same can of formula for more than 1 month? Reason is - initially I was on the low supply side and my confinement nanny suggested feeding FM in the night and I agreed because I needed the rest too. Now she is gone and I am feeding EBM in the day and latching in the night. My big can of formula is just sitting there..... I was thinking of using it for emergencies like I can’t be home on time and my other caregiver will be able to make FM for baby. But expiry date wise... pls advise!! I don’t want to waste it... still have 3/4 of the can.. if not I’ll rather bless it.. left with 20 days I think if I were to follow the 1 month rule.

Yes only use within 1 month after it has been opened. After 1 month must discard if left over because the nutrients start to degrade. Eg expiry date 2023. But once you opened this month, must finish within 30 days. As Long you haven’t opened any, you can sell/bless Your caregiver can give fm n bm mixed feed to baby so won’t waste.
