In the infant room, I sent it in a thermos, but now in the toddler room, they have a gallon in the fridge at all times, which is provided by the parent whose turn it is to provide group snacks that week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-815230 Wed, 29 May 2013 11:39:20 +0000 littlebittyhouse 815230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11mo and I send the following:</p> <p>4oz bottle for AM nap<br /> 4oz cup of breastmilk for lunch<br /> 4oz bottle for PM nap<br /> 4-6oz water for snacking</p> <p>I use a zoli cup for water and milk.

DD gets a sippy cup (one of theirs) at all meals and snacks, usually with cows milk. I think occasionally they do water instead. Once a week, with the parents' permission, they do juice as a treat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-815096 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:46:15 +0000 autumnlove 815096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: It doesn't leak as much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-815059 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:33:34 +0000 regberadaisy 815059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: is that all she drinks now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-815058 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:33:25 +0000 Andrea 815058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: stupid straw cups!!! i am dreading going through that phase again with DD2. leaky messes. hope she can use an open cup at a young age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-815053 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:31:48 +0000 Mrsbells 815053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I send in a straw cup with almond milk. LO doesnt drink much she just takes tiny sips so that one cup is enough. Other people at her daycare bring in a carton of milk so their LO's can get refills during the day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-815051 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:31:46 +0000 regberadaisy 815051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I have the TB and it did not leak at all the beginning but has started to recently. But that is bc M launches that thing every where. But lately the leaking has decreased for some reason! I plan to use the TB for milk and buy a camelbak for water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-815047 Wed, 29 May 2013 10:30:17 +0000 Andrea 815047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they only give kids milk if they are seated so it's just at snack and meal times. They provided the cups.</p> <p>@autumnlove: does the thinkbaby leak? my friend was wondering about that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-814890 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:34:25 +0000 autumnlove 814890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Haha, that stupid cup leaked all over my diaper bag last night.</p> <p>We give her a 6-8 ounce bottle of milk and a cup for water for the whole day at daycare. She drinks milk in the morning and evening at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-814882 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:31:32 +0000 regberadaisy 814882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: bahahah I love the "leaky" comment. Do you give her the equivalent of what she took in formula/bm throughout the day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-814878 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:30:35 +0000 autumnlove 814878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put it in a (leaky) Zoli or Thinkbaby and she gets it at snack time and lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-814847 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:23:06 +0000 littlek 814847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-in-cups-at-daycare#post-814846 Wed, 29 May 2013 09:22:43 +0000 regberadaisy 814846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you give milk in cups at daycare how do you do it?</p> <p>Is it only at meal and snack times?</p> <p>ETA: I'm talking about in lieu of formula OR breastmilk. When they are completely transitioned out of formula/breastmilk in bottles. </p>
