Would you use it?

I made a bottle, baby ended up not needing it. I left it and slept off by accident without putting it in the fridge. I left it out for 3 hours. Would me now putting it in the fridge still possibly allow me to use it later on.?

Overnight diapers

Any recommendations for overnight diapers? My 7 months old keeps waking up wet in the middle of the night because the pee seeps through. I tried the millie moon and the target brand overnight diapers and they didnt work. He rolls around a lot at night so he needs good absorbent diapers. TYI!
