Help!! Gave baby old bottle with extra formula

Kira

You guys 🤦🏽‍♀️ I feel so dumb. Last night I fed my baby around 1:10. She usually will wake up once or twice through the night so I had 2 bottles of water next to the bed for when she did. She ate at 1:10 and then went back to sleep but she only drank like an ounce from that bottle. So I laid her down next to me on her bassinet and when she woke up at 4:45 to eat again I accidentally put the formula in the bottle she already drank from. I didn't even realize till I asked my bf to make another bottle of water and there was still one left. I have searched everything on feeding old bottles and feeding too much formula but Im pretty sure I'm the only one that I have found to ever put formula in an old bottle. Can someone please tell me what to do I feel like shit about it. She doesn't seem fussy rn. It's literally only an hour after she ate but should I watch for sickness? Do I call her Dr? Idk why I didn't see that the bottle was already made but how can that affect her? So I basically added 2 scoops of formula to 3 oz of already made formula that's been drank from. I appreciate any help

My baby is also 3 months old tomorrow

Aw you poor thing! I’m not sure how old your little one is but I honestly think they will be fine 😊As I understand it there was only a few hours between 1am and when you fed the same bottle at 4am. Babies have pretty amazing little bodies, if the formula was a bit too old you would have noticed some spit up and there’s a possibility baby would have refused the bottle altogether. My baby wasn’t formula fed but I did express milk and I had a few similar run ins with breast milk that has been left out too long 😬If your little one isn’t showing your any signs of being uncomfortable then I’d say you’re all clear! Give yourself a little break, the mid night feedings can be killer!

My girl is 3 months old tomorrow. She hasn't been uncomfortable yet she's slept these last 2 hrs so I'm really hoping it will be fine especially since I added 2 more scoops of formula when it was already made. Thank you so much for your response 🙏🏽
