DDfed from dirty bottle lined with stale milk

Help! Posting here for traffic.

So in a sleepy haze this morning, DH takes a bottle from the dishwasher not realised the stuff in there is dirty-and fills it for DD (nearly 1yo). It has stale milk remnants in there and would have been festering for 24 hours Sad

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has done something similar and their DC been ok?! She already has a cold coming on, bless her Sad

Thanks everyone x

She might be sick or get upset tummy but hopefully she'll just be ok

Children in deprived countries survive worse than this on a regular basis. Just because the best practise is to clean & sterilise, it doesn't mean the child WILL fall ill without it, it's just a greater possibility. At 1 year, your baby might get away with no effect. And even if she doesn't it can't be worse than a few loose stools I suppose. Don't dwell on it much...

Am sure she'll be absolutely fine. Easy mistake to make.

She'll be fine. Drinking milk that's off isn't dangerous at that age and it might not even have been off, just dried on.

ds drank a full cup of milk that had been out overnight at arou d 14months with no ill affect . Hopefully yours will be fine too.

I apparently drank window cleaner when I was that age so definitely could be worse than old milk!

Ive done that with my dcs Shock, forget to clean properly the remnants of the bottle, they have been fine.

Unpleasant to taste or smell, but unlikely to be dangerous. Don't worry OP, just one of those things.

scarletforya · 11/04/2015 11:32

She's one so fingers crossed she'll be fine.

Thanks so much for all your messages, I feel v reassured!

She hasn't been sick or anything yet thankfully, just suffering with her cold. Hopefully we have got away with it!

She'll might feel a bit ill. Depends on how strong stomached she is.

If she has loose poo. Make your DH change it.

Things like that happen to the best of us! I wouldn't worry too much.

MrsFlannel · 11/04/2015 16:35

We had this OP...more than once sadly! DH is short sighted. :( No damage was done though. And once it happened twice I took to washing all bottles immediately and by hand!

Mia1415 · 11/04/2015 16:36

I've done similar & DS was absolutely fine

funkyfoam · 11/04/2015 16:50

Mine did that. Picked up and drank from a feeder cup with milk that had been sitting in a picnic bag for over 24 hours. She is 25 now.
