Hello,

It is advisable to refrigerate baby food as per your doctor’s advice because every food that is given to baby needs to be clean and even refrigerated baby food after a certain time should not be given to the baby.

As babies are very sensitive and prone to infections especially when it's through food.

I would suggest you to take your baby to a pediatrician even though she is doing fine and showing no signs of uneasy feeling after having the bottled food, let the doctor examine the baby and then follow your doctor’s advice.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Manisha Auradkar, General & Family Physician
