I'm not planning on using it more than a week due to bacteria, but if it is that helpfull i can get another one. Also it is on the fridge, i use gloves when manipulating etc.
Also when he eats package says that i can sprinkle normal food with it as if it was a supplement...
Offer food as normal. The idea is to stimulate his appetite and get him strong enough to eat on his own. I would use it for a couple weeks while offering normal food item as well to see if he will take them.

You can use it as a supplement. Many of these formulas state that they can be used as such to provide extra nutrition. You can hold off from feeding him the formula for a couple days to see if he will eat on his own.

The formula will last longer than a week. It's just important to minimize the chances of contaminating the formula. It should be fine.

The decision is of course yours to make.
