Glad to hear your LO took 2 oz - that's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1260226 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 19:31:41 +0000 Jewel664 1260226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks so much for all the advice! I felt a bit better knowing she tried today. Yesterday I was dying inside. Trying not to let stress diminish my supply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1260186 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 18:42:01 +0000 Corduroy 1260186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been there. LO will figure it out. Hang in there in the meantime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1260183 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 18:38:07 +0000 marionberry 1260183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son refused the bottle at first and it took us two weeks just to get him to take it at all. Then when he started daycare he barely would eat during the day and would be starving when I picked him up. But about 3 weeks later he began eating like a pro. Try not to feel too bad and know that he'll be just fine eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1260131 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:41:34 +0000 LuLu Mom 1260131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your LO will eat when she is hungry, new place, new faces, just takes a little time to adjust. Dont' worry she won't starve! Hang in there momma &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1260128 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:36:45 +0000 Smurfette 1260128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jewel664: that is an improvement!! It will get better. Just takes time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1260122 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:30:00 +0000 Jewel664 1260122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: did he finally adjust? She did better today by taking about 2 oz. makes me sad that she's not eating or napping while there, but I know she will adjust. Thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1260120 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:28:14 +0000 Jewel664 1260120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: thank you so much for the insight! I feel like she is starving!! I fed her a soon as I got home at 4 and then she nursed to sleep( I know bad me) at 7. I did a couple MOTN feeding and tanked her up at 6:30 am before drop off. She did better by taking about 2 oz today while there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1259266 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 12:56:17 +0000 Mommy Finger 1259266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's baby went through this same thing. She adjusted after a few days and was fine ever since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1258272 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 09:09:38 +0000 Adira 1258272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Glad you saw this post! I was going to point her your way!</p> <p>@Jewel664: Smurfette's baby refused a bottle at first too, but they eventually realize they have to accept it and they do! Also, some babies just don't eat much at daycare and then they make up for it at home with Mama! It may mean more MOTN wake-ups, but they'll get their intake one or way or another! &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1258269 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 09:06:47 +0000 Mamaof2 1258269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Give it time - my DS did that too - he reverse cycled - refused to eat during the day and the nursed all night long </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1257688 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:02:20 +0000 autumnlove 1257688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a week for my baby to adjust. I introduced her to a bottle early but we stopped around 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1257517 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 19:54:56 +0000 swedishfish 1257517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jewel664: it's SO hard to leave your baby. Things will get better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1257513 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 19:53:26 +0000 Jewel664 1257513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: thank you! I just feel so awful. I guess it's only day 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1257510 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 19:51:43 +0000 Jewel664 1257510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: that's what I'm thinking too! I feed her right before drop off at 7 and pick up at 3:30. I guess she will learn to take bottle when hungry enough. It breaks my heart, but she's happy there and not crying or screaming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1257505 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 19:51:26 +0000 Smurfette 1257505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She will adjust!

If she takes the bottle at home I'm sure she will eat at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-breastfed-baby-wont-eat-at-daycare#post-1257483 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 19:41:59 +0000 Jewel664 1257483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 3 months old and started daycare yesterday. She refuses the bottle. I'm so worried! She takes bottle well at home. I feel so horrible!! </p>
