I wish they would, but they won't! </p> <p>I'm glad to hear that many of your babies are getting 15-16 oz. I am trying to send 18oz and they are always making me feel bad about it, saying it's not enough. Sometimes they send home full bottles though (she's fed on demand)... so I don't get it. Maybe she just had some hungry days, or they think she's hungry and she's really not. I have ZERO milk in reserve, and I am working my ass off to send what I am, so they're going to have to deal. She's gaining fine so I think she's ok.</p> <p>I think next week I will ask them to feed her on a schedule and will do 3 x 5-6 oz bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-801301 Wed, 22 May 2013 14:51:30 +0000 purrpletulips 801301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 8 months and gets 3 bottles at the sitter; two are 3-3.5 oz and one is 5 oz. He gets solids after the smaller bottles.</p> <p>@78H2O: will your daycare keep frozen BM? the daycare that we used with DD would keep a few bags of frozen BM for times when she needed a top off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800771 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:22:12 +0000 78h2o 800771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think I am going to try this again. I did it for a week or two and they said it wasn't enough... so I switched to 4 x 4oz bottles. </p> <p>@Katrocap: My LO is 5.5 mo. Today I sent her with 4 x 4 oz bottle + 2 x 1oz bottles to top her off if she's still hungry after a feeding. I think I'm going to try to go back to 3 x 5 oz though, or maybe even 3 x 6 oz. Kellymom.com says they need 1-1.5oz for each hour they are away from you. I send a little bit more than that though because daycare thought she was still hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800745 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:17:23 +0000 dolphin 800745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 5 months and gets three 5oz bottles.

She's almost 13m and still takes the same + solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800604 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:43:48 +0000 mamabolt 800604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 7 months she was getting 3 6oz bottles and one meal of solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800563 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:34:30 +0000 pregnantbee 800563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had 3 6-oz bottles at daycare at 7 months since we still weren't adding in too many solids. He gradually reduced to 3 4-oz bottles after we started sending and he actually started eating more solids around 9 months. At 11 mo, he's wavering bet 3-4 oz bottles 3 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800557 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:31:36 +0000 Beehive 800557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 7 months and he gets 3 bottles while I'm at work - they are between 6 and 7 oz each (I think my nanny decides based on how much I have in the fridge from the previous day's pumping). He has the bottles at 11, 2 and 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800537 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:27:39 +0000 MamaMoose 800537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is six months now and gets 3 five ounce bottles each day at daycare. We are just now starting solids with her so I don't expect her milk intake to increase in the future, we will just add more and more solids as she grows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800523 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:24:01 +0000 Katrocap 800523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Thanks, that is exactly the information I was looking for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800495 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:17:45 +0000 mediagirl 800495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AT 7 months, she was getting 5oz of milk in 3 bottles. She had her bottles at 9, 12 and 3. She started solids at 8 months at daycare and had those after her 12pm bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-for-daycare#post-800488 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:16:33 +0000 Katrocap 800488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many ounces/bottles of breastmilk do you send to daycare for your LO for one day? My DS will be 7 months when he starts daycare and I'm trying to figure out how much to pump/freeze/etc. Thanks! </p>
