How do you prepare bottles for daycare?

I am going back to work tomorrow and I was wondering if it would be smart to make new bottles everyday or should I leave bottles there and give her a container with milk and replace the milk every two days or so? I am clueless, help.

Re: How do you prepare bottles for daycare?

  • I leave three 3.5 oz bottles for my nanny.  I use the Avent bottles so I just pump into the medela bottles and transfer into the Avent ones when I get home...that way she just has to warm and stick the nipple on when ready to feed.  I'm not sure I would take a container of milk since it tends to separate and every bottle will be different ratios of hindmilk and foremilk when she pours it in.

  • I send 4 4oz bottles to daycare every day in a cooler with ice packs.

    I take 4 collection bottles to work every day, and pump into those.  I use Medela bottles for pumping and feeding, so this is a very easy process for me.  So when I get home at night, I take Tuesday's fresh milk and put it in the fridge for Weds.  Then I wash the daycare bottles from Tuesday, and put them in my PISA bag for collection the next day.

    Does that make sense?
