Cow and Gate - how long does it keep?

How long can I go from making up a bottle to when I need to throw it away?
Baby drinks half then leaves it. Can the bottle be kept at room temperature for two hours to feed him again from in that time?
Or is it one hour?
Or should I throw it away immediately once he's done, even if a lot left?
Thanks!

2 hours at room temp after it is made up to use it but only one hour as soon as it has touched baby’s mouth.

Ah okay. Is that in the guidance?
I've been using it within two hours, whether he's had some of it or not. Eek!

You will probably be fine, but now that you know it's an hour best to go with that instead! Can you make two smaller bottles at the same time? Then if baby does manage both they are ready, if not you have two hours for the second one?

I mean he will probably be fine and you've done no harm! I think the formula companies are as cautious as possible knowing people won't adhere perfectly. It doesn't automatically become poisonous at 61 minutes
