Formula consumption
I want to know in how many days should a packet of formula be discarded after opening? Also does a closed fist of a 3.5 month old baby always signify hunger ?

Check the label for expiry dates...also if it was in a powder form which was later mixed with water..that syp will have to be consumed within 10- 15 days....fisting is a normal reflex not signifying hunger

expiry of formula depends on brands. check that.
Closed fist doesn't mean hunger. It is a normal newborn reflex. It will subside after 6 months of age.

Formula box, once opened should be consumed within 2 weeks of opening / exposing to air.
Make sure the container is airtight, moisture free and sterile.
Any bit of moisture will spoil it / need to be used faster.
That said, make sure to give your child the appropriate amount of feed. Font overfeed just to finish the formula packet.
For any further doubts, kindly book an online consultation with me.
