Formula storage question!

I've recently started supplementing to adding a powder formula as my supply has been dipping. It's a real pain at night if I run out of BM to make a bottle. It says "once feeding has begun" use within an hour. Does this mean I premake it before bed and keep it next to me until he's ready (even if it's a few hours before he actually has it) or does it generally mean once it's mixed used within an hour? Would be so helpful to find a solution to not having to get out of bed, I am trying to wean him off night feeds but we aren't there yet and he pretty much feeds and goes straight back to sleep so I'm okay with it. (We co-sleep)

You can pre-mix and it's good in the fridge for 24 hours. Once baby starts to drink it, if they don't drink it all in 1 hour from starting it needs tossed. At room temp it's only good for 2 hours. Check the box or tub, it should have specifics there alongside the mixing instructions

I used to keep the bottle with the sterilised water and the small box of formula powder ready at my bedside. When baby is up and crying, I used to mix them and give it ready at room temp

Thank you!!
