How long before I discard a bottle dd has started?

I'd be grateful to know the answer for both bm and formula. I have a caddy type thing that keeps the temp of the bottle (whether cold or hot)for a while.

Formula states that after 2 hours of making the bottle should be discarded.

BM differs country by country, was told in Geneva and USA that fresh EBM could be in room of 20° or less for upto 6 hours.

Thanks - what about if the baby has drunk some of the milk?

Would go be the 2 hours from making to discarding unless baby drinking at the the 2 hour time. But i wouldn't offer at or near that limit, would make fresh.
