How long before feed can I mix formula

[michch]

I am just getting by 4 month old onto mixed feeding and need to know how far in advance I can mix up a formula feed, i.e before bed so it is ready for 11pm feed. The formula says to use as soon as mixed but I always see babies being fed from bottles that have been pre - mixed and kept warm in a thermal case.

If you want to make things as safe as possible for your LO, then make it up fresh. Otherwise, take a carton of formula up, and let them get used to having it at room temperature.

yes it is sopposed to be used straight away. Its not advisable to make up formula in advance anymore.
