Infant formula is the best alternative to breast milk.
Prepared formula should be used or discarded within two hours of mixing, or after removing it from the refrigerator. Feedings should be completed within one hour from the time the baby starts to drink. Because formula is nutrient-rich, it's a perfect environment for bacteria to grow. You may also warm the bottle by holding it under warm, running tap water. Shake bottle and test the temperature of the formula by shaking a few drops of it on your wrist.
