What do you do if your infant did not have all their bottles at daycare? Do you try to feed them more at bedtime? Do you do a dream feed? Have you noticed that your baby will wake from hunger in the MOTN?
My 4 month old will start daycare next week and I'm afraid she won't take all her bottles and then her sleep will be even worse.

@Pumpkin Pie: When my DS started DCP at 5 months old he refused bottles - he reversed cycled for a week or two and then started taking them during the day. It sucked big time but didn't last forever!

my LO sometimes left up 1-2oz per bottle, and we didn't have issues with MOTN wakings. however, my friend's LO hardly drank any of his bottles when he first started daycare, and he did start having a MOTN waking to make up for it. so she tried to feed him one more time before bedtime--sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but the main thing was that he eventually became more comfortable with daycare and taking bottles. it can be so nerve-wracking, good luck!

@Mamaof2: that's what I'm afraid of. My LO already eats on the low side so I spend the time to try to feed her as much as I can, but I know daycare wont do that. I guess I should prepare for the worst.
