Can Dexolac Be Used Beyond 3 Weeks Of Opening The Pack S Seal?
Hi, My baby is 1 month old, initially I bought Dexolac as top feed. It says it should be used by 3 weeks once it is opened but I hardly used it. Should I throw it r is it safe to use even after 3 weeks after opening the seal.suggest me some small packets which can be used intermittently when needed

Hi,
It would be best not to use it if it has been opened for this period of time,there is an increased risk of infection to the baby. Most formulas come in standard containers, you may need to speak to your pediatrician to determine if there is a smaller option available.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
