I took R today for a trial run at day care. She was there 3 1/2 hours. I walked in and saw the main teacher in the office. She was there getting my number to call me cause they couldn't get her calmed down:( Reagan was bright red, arms moving all around, tears down her face in the swing when I walked in. She calmed down when I picked her up.
She hadn't eaten in 5 hours. They tried for an hour to get her to take the bottle. They tried when she was half asleep, happy, crying, etc. Ended up throwing away 6 ozs of BM. I nursed her there and then she was fine, and then smiling at everyone.
They told me to come back tomorrow so they can try again. Anything to make me feel more comfortable for Monday when she is there all day and I am back to work.
I know it isn't the bottle, she has taken it before. DH is gone till Friday night, so he can't even try and get her to take a bottle. I am going to try till then with formula, don't want to keep wasting BM. I will have DH try all weekend.
Any other tips? We have tried it warm, hot, room temp, girlfriend just wants the boob!!
I will say I do feel better about her napping. She fell asleep in the swing and slept for an hour. Which she doesn't like the swing at home.
