does infant formula really expire when they say it does after its been opened?
Expiration date is there to protect both your baby and the manufacturer (friom lawsuit). I always think there is a safety “grace” period built-in. And expiration might simply mean the nutritions have “degraded” especially when you have kept it dry and cool. BUT why take the risk? You probably will kick yourself later if your baby gets sick, even though the reason might very likely not be the formula. Simply throw it away if I were you. Need expert opinions?

If consumed by that date, the formula or food must contain not less than the quantity of each nutrient as described on the label. For
