If yes, what’s the longest you’d refrigerate it?

You mean once someone already started eating from it? Not a great idea since germs grow much faster once the leben is exposed to bacteria from the mouth. I wouldn't keep from more than a day Crying

Ty! When I mentioned to someone that I refrigerate it for no longer than overnight, she thought I was crazy that I don’t discard it but rather store it away

Of course you should save it! They’re expensive. Just don’t save it forever.

I don't give little kids an entire leben or yogurt. I dish some out into a small vessel, and when they finish that, they can have more. It amazes me that people give a toddler a whole container when they know full well the kid will have three spoonfuls and the rest will go in the trash.

Just because your toddler doesn't finish it, it doesn't mean that all toddlers don't finish it.....

For me, the biggest issue is that they tend to spill in the fridge!
Though if you poke a straw through the top instead of opening the lid, your chances of not spilling improve.

Read my post--I said IDK why they give the kid the whole thing when they know they won't finish . Parents usually have a pretty good idea of their kids' eating habits and they know which kids can be counted on to quit after a few bite and which are likely to eat the whole thing.
