[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With breastmilk, we were told not to reuse bottles of milk that had touched the baby's mouth after about an hour. If a toddler has cow's milk in a sippy cup but doesn't finish it, can we put the sippy cup in the fridge and serve it again later? How much later?[/quote] How long is the milk out of the refrigerator before you want to refrigerate it and how much is left? You start counting time from when the milk comes out of the refrigerator until it is fully cooled in the refrigerator again; then you start counting as you pull it out again. My default is that if the toddler has it out for only 15 minutes and I know that there is little enough left that it can be drunk in 15 minutes or less later, I'll put it away. If either time period is longer than 15 minutes, I dump it and give less next time. I'd rather refill a sippy cup 3 times than pour out milk, but either is preferable to having a sick child.[/quote]
