Vent: Daycare is killing me with the cheerios!

auburnbride2be

She only took 5 ozs of formula all day yesterday, but I look at her sheet and she had cheerios at three different sittings! I wonder why she doesn't want her oatmeal, purees or bottles???????

definitely something that you need to raise concerns about.  She's not getting the proper nutrients she needs...

I know. The only reason I didn't absolutely lose it is that she is getting over a stomach virus and she hasn't been eating anyway. She's been living off of pedialyte. But, she got home and sucked down an entire bottle.

Just tell them she cant have cheerios until she has X amount of formula

auburnbride2be

I did. I actually plan to take the cheerios home so they can't give them to her anymore and I told them I stopped giving them at home. When she realizes she is only getting formula or her baby food, she will eat. I don't even give her cheerios much at home, but they have taken it really far with the cheerios.

Can you only send a certain amount of them with her or not send them at all?

Cherrios are a snack to suppliment bottles and food, NOT a meal.  Simply say that DD is not allowed to have cheerios until after she has a bottle or regular food.
