On the box it says once you open it you have to use it within a few days. Has anyone experienced keeping it for longer that after opening?

I imagine if you double dip the dropper you SHOULD toss it after a few weeks, but if you clean it between each dip I see no reason that it would spoil at all.

I think you have around 1 month to use it. There aren't preservatives so I have heard of mold growing in old bottles.

I used it throughout a month after opening and it still worked for my baby and he seemed fine :)

I use mine anywhere from 4-6 weeks until its gone. A few days after opening seems extreme. I looked at my box again and it says to discard after 6 weeks of opening.

Same here as the below answer - we generally use it until it's gone - probably anywhere between 2-6 weeks after opening.

I used the Gripe Water mostly during my daughter's infancy; usually I would go though a bottle within in 3-4 days. As she grew older, I started using less of it and I would have t open for a week to 4 weeks and never noticed a difference. Just make sure that you shake it up. To answer your question though, no, I have not noticed any negative effects after using the Gripe Water past after a few days.

I'm pretty sure it says on the box to use within 4 weeks. But I have gone as long as 8 without any issues. I clean the dropper after every use to make sure it doesn't get contaminated with anything.

Like the other poster said, my bottle was in the fridge for at least a year before I started using it, and I had already opened it. It was fine. So long as you keep it refrigerated it will last a very long time. I am guessing the acidity level and the fact that it is concentrated, is what helps keep this fresh.

I don't know about this one because I mailed it to my sister in another part of town. The one I use has an expiration date of one year if unopened. But once you open it, it is only good for a month or 3 months max and keep it refrigerated after opening.

I use it only once/day. But I haven't finished mine yet so don't know quite how long it lasts. But enjoy it & see what happens. Hope it works for you. I like it!!

You use what you've mixed up at that time. It will store, I understand, for a few days in the refrigerator if not totally used at the time. You need to beat it again to get the air back into the mix again at that time. If you keep it longer than that, it will dry out or spoil. The package was smaller than I'd pictured, also.

I think that it will last a long time. After I opened it (the second day after I got it) It lasted about a week. I think it will last a lot longer unopened.

mine was kept in its original box while we moved. it came out just fine. when you take it out of the box just give it an hour and you have a great mattress. i got it for my mom and she loves it. it really doesnt matter how long its in the box because thats how they are at the warehouse and that could be a long time. glad i could help, enjoy the mattress. sandy

Yes. Every time you open it again, you have to re-gas the bottle before you close it. i usually wait until the end of the day when I know i won't be pulling it back out again.

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months

It will literally keep for a couple of years, even after opening. After that long a time it will become a little thicker and drier to spread, but won't be harmful. I leave mine in the cupboard for months on end in the knowledge that it can literally last for years in that state.

Yes, I believe it is recommended to keep it in the fridge after opening. Frankly I didn't like the product so whatever purpose you did buy I hope it will be serving you. Good luck. Wish you the best.

I think it said 2 days after opening, but that seems short. I had poured it into a sealed shaker cup and forgot about it for a week. It was then a super thick solid and smelled like mold with some white fuzz.

yes, the bottle says you need to refrigerate it after you open it and it has a shelf life of 6 months after that I do believe.

Kind of a funny question because if you use it regularly as I do, it will be long gone before it can expire...no? Love this stuff, it does the job!

It doesn't need to be refrigerated after opening. I would imagine it would last a long time but I'm not the best to answer that part because mine is gone within a month! Actually, yes it does last. I have another flavor that I don't use as much and it's just fine.

Yes the bottle says to refrigerate after opening. But I would make sure you sit it on something, I use a upside down plastic lid, because it will stain if it gets on something. It also has an expiration date that is usually quite long.

I keep it in the refrigerator after opening and use it within a month. Unopened on the self not sure I would contact manufacturer
