Formula feed can be kept in freeze if not consumed..
Leftover formula feed....means..what has remained in container... should not be stored as this formula is mixed with child's saliva...
That's why it will grow bacteria in it...and cause infection if consumed by child later

Hi.
You can store formula milk for 1 hour only. Old left over milk can cause stomach upset.
