If you give milk in cups at daycare how do you do it?
Is it only at meal and snack times?
ETA: I'm talking about in lieu of formula OR breastmilk. When they are completely transitioned out of formula/breastmilk in bottles.
-
I'm curious too...
-
We put it in a (leaky) Zoli or Thinkbaby and she gets it at snack time and lunch.
-
@autumnlove: bahahah I love the "leaky" comment. Do you give her the equivalent of what she took in formula/bm throughout the day?
-
@regberadaisy: Haha, that stupid cup leaked all over my diaper bag last night.
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.
-
Yes, they only give kids milk if they are seated so it's just at snack and meal times. They provided the cups.
@autumnlove: does the thinkbaby leak? my friend was wondering about that one.
-
@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.

@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
-
@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!
-
@Mrsbells: is that all she drinks now?
-
@Andrea: It doesn't leak as much!
-
Our daycare provides food 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.
-
Milk at daycare is offered at lunch and morning snack and water is available through out the day as well as offered at afternoon snack.

LO is 11mo and I send the following:
4oz bottle for AM nap
4oz cup of breastmilk for lunch
4oz bottle for PM nap
4-6oz water for snackingI use a zoli cup for water and milk. He drinks about 9-10 ounces of the 12 I send and then we nurse AM/PM
Took me a whille to get used to to decrease in ounces and sending a cup!
-
Our day care gives milk in an open cup. 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.
