Maybe 3 or 4 weeks (ish)

Not sure exactly but thinking back on how many bottles i have bought since he was born i would guess we get through a bottle in just under a month, and i normally end up throwing a little bit away at the end...so yeah, we're keeping them almost twice as long as we should then aren't we?! How terrible

Follow the nose I say

There is really no reason that any potentially harmful bacteria should get into the bottle, and it's not made from anything that goes 'off'.

I used the same bottle as needed for a few months...

Maybe the bottle we got was smaller than yours, but ours didn't last 14 days. It was given with almost every feed so it just didn't last!

We only got one bottle ever though as I switched food..
