I have two unopened cans of powdered formula left over from my first daughter. We are going to have to start sending some formula for the twins and I was wondering if the expiration date for powdered formula is really a concern. Just curious.
Thanks, I was just curious. Didn't want to waste the formula if it was still useable. I will just buy some when the time comes.
my first reaction, I would never give something expired to my child! My second reaction, Do you believe the expiration date on regular milk is a concern? Do what you think is best, follow your first instincts and throw that formula away!
Ped's get tons of it for free, don't forget to ask. Also the Babies r' Us brand is great
I would recommend not using it as the properties can change over time. If you like Enfamil, you should try the Parents Choice brand at Walmart. they have 100% the same nutrients but it is 1/2 the price at about $12.00 a can.
Hello, You need to throw out the formula which is outdated.
K. K.
No throw it out. It can change over time and I would not give anything outdated to babies.
i wouldn't save it or use it...like r.m said it loses nutreints
My doctor said you can go over the date a little, but she didn't recommend it if it was too long. I would ask your doctor and let her know how old it is. I think mine said that it loses nutrients, and that isn't good if the formula is the only source of nutrients they are getting.
