It is common for breastfed babies to eat less more often. So smaller bottles would definitely help (especially if they are throwing it out after using it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-the-heck-are-they-doing-with-my-milk-at-daycare#post-436454 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:31:56 +0000 CarrieLouWho 436454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, that's terrible. I haven't gone back yet, but I'm terrified of milk waste!!! I'm interested to hear what they say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-the-heck-are-they-doing-with-my-milk-at-daycare#post-436419 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:16:18 +0000 yellowbird 436419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are. Some days she'll eat 5 oz all day and other days she's eating in 2-3oz "snacks."</p> <p>If she eats this way should I make 3-3.5 oz bottles? I don't want her to not get enough, but I also don't want to waste 30oz a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-the-heck-are-they-doing-with-my-milk-at-daycare#post-436382 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:07:18 +0000 matador84 436382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are they recording for you how much is in the bottle and how much is consumed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-the-heck-are-they-doing-with-my-milk-at-daycare#post-436380 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:07:09 +0000 yellowbird 436380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet you're right! I wish they would mention it though. I will make smaller bottles! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-the-heck-are-they-doing-with-my-milk-at-daycare#post-436378 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:07:05 +0000 prettylizy 436378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That must be so frustrating, trying to keep up with milk demand while you're pumping. I hope you sort it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-the-heck-are-they-doing-with-my-milk-at-daycare#post-436370 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:05:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 436370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe they are throwing out what's in the bottle if she doesn't finish it right away? Like your husband might have given it to her again later but they just toss the extra after a few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-the-heck-are-they-doing-with-my-milk-at-daycare#post-436347 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 22:00:11 +0000 yellowbird 436347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started day are this week. For the past four weeks she's been home with my husband and I went back to work. We've been making four 5 oz bottles for the next day and she would usually eat around 14-18 while I was gone 10 hours. </p> <p>One day this week she used 18 oz, the next three days she used 24 oz of milk!! They only recorded her eating 17, 15, and 16. </p> <p>I left a couple of bags of frozen milk, so that's where the extra is coming from. I know I need to ask them, and I plan on it tomorrow. That's like 24 oz of milk down the drain :( </p>
