Formula ready made bottles for going out

Hi I purchase these cow & gate ready made bottles www.cgbabyclub.co.uk/products/milks/first-infant-milk/first-infant-milk-four-pack-200ml-ready-to-use-bottles.html but once opened it stays to keep refrigerated. My baby only takes 90ml at the minute so a 200ml bottle is too big. If I keep them in the fridge at home then put them in a cold flask could I use them out and about for the day and just tip into his bottle for feeds?

I think they're supposed to be used within 2 hours iirc.

Could you use the 60ml bottles (infant starter pack??) if you wanted to reduce waste?

Tbh I used the ready made 200ml bottles for out and about and would pour what DD drank in the bottle and then kept the remainder cool with an icepack or put in a thermos for the next feed. My DD was 6-8 months though so probably a bit older than yours.

That’s fine. They usually say to use within 24 hours (at least the bigger ones do). The use within 2 hours is for the actual bottle that your baby puts its mouth on. As long as it’s refrigerated, it should be fine to use across two feeds.
