He drinks lightly from a bottle but it hasn't really improved. It varies from 2-9 oz the 9 hours I am gone and he nurses very frequently when I am here! I do think if my husband and sitter were experienced bottle givers it could have helped. I have them offer rice cereal mixed with ebm and other purees and as he increases his solids intake I feel better! Luckily at this age it's less of a worry! He's 7 m and I went back to work at 5m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248762 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 10:30:38 +0000 FaithFertility 2248762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: DD is 7.5 and seems to be ok so far, I hope she figures it out soon! :)<br /> I'm a teacher so leaving would be really hard, but if her health because an issue my butt will be there! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248758 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 10:29:27 +0000 FaithFertility 2248758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Sorry it was so hard :( if DD was that young it would truly kill me to leave her like that!<br /> Great job Mama doing what you did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248601 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 08:20:50 +0000 Rockies11 2248601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: she was 6 months when she started. She never took a bottle once in her entire life, and went very long periods of time without intaking anything to avoid it. The daycare was near my work so I ended up just popping over to feed her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248564 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 07:56:32 +0000 LuLu Mom 2248564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks, it was the longest 6 weeks of my life. And then we decided to try formula again in a different bottle (we tried 30x different combinations I swear) and she took it! So we decided to switch to formula full time. This was a tough decision for me, but she was only 2% weight at her 4 month check in and the doctors were concerned about her not getting enough to eat (all day strike will do that) so I put my feelings aside and she's happy and gaining like a crazy person now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248481 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 05:24:33 +0000 FaithFertility 2248481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Yeah, she takes the sippy cup at home at times 2-4 Oz so I'm hoping it clicks and she does it there!<br /> So hard as a mom....<br /> She is doing great there other wise :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248480 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 05:01:18 +0000 Pumuckl 2248480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: well it's easier now looking back at it. At the time we just kept offering and I knew he'd drink water since he had done so in summer when it was hot. I guess he just wasn't thristy. She'll let you know if she isn't getting enough and as long as diapers are wet you should be good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248477 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 04:32:01 +0000 FaithFertility 2248477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rockies11: How old was LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248476 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 04:31:31 +0000 FaithFertility 2248476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Really? LO is 7.5 months so I'm hoping that with me nursing her in the a.m. and at night she will be ok with water and solids during the day!</p> <p>I'm packing a straw cup for sitter to try today! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248472 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 02:35:45 +0000 Pumuckl 2248472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was a little older (9 months) and if he drank 2oz of water at daycare it was a good day (he was on table foods by then). That lasted until he was maybe 14 months or so. He still nursed at night and in the mornings and had enough wet diapers so we didn't worry too much about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248388 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 19:58:36 +0000 Corduroy 2248388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took about three consecutive days when she started. Then It took her about two months before she would reliably drink on Mondays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248387 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 19:57:52 +0000 Rockies11 2248387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine took 6 months! they had to spoon feed her liquids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248386 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 19:57:16 +0000 yellowbird 2248386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248381 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 19:50:03 +0000 babypugs 2248381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A month. :bummed: It was tough, but having a patient and persistent caretaker made all the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248366 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 19:38:26 +0000 autumnlove 2248366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a couple of days for her to get used to it. Maybe 3 or 4 to drink all the milk that I packed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-lo-didnt-drink-at-daycare#post-2248364 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 19:36:43 +0000 FaithFertility 2248364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If LO didn't take a bottle/sippy cup at daycare how long did it take until they did? </p>
