It's all day care's fault

So, i have been wondering why its been so hard to handle the twins on the weekends lately.  I had a great system before.  They ate every 4 hours... they would eat, play and then sleep an hour or two until the next feeding.  They have hardly been napping anymore and need to be fed/entertained constantly.

Well i just figured it out.  Daycare has been feeding my son EVERY.TWO.HOURS.  between 4-6 ounces.  W T F!!!!!  So basically that is his "new" schedule.

He JUST started eating oatmeal tonight.  Do i send some oatmeal and ask them to feed some oatmeal there to try to keep him full longer?  Is there any way to get him back on schedule?

  • I would have them slowly add like 10 minutes on each time.  So if he eats at 10 have him eat next at 10:10, 12:30, 3...that may work.  

    Also, what is going on with your DC? Aren't they supposed to be listening to your wishes. I feel like they have screwed up a bunch of times.

  • well, we blamed it on growth spurts, so it started off where they started feeding them at 5:30 instead of 6 before i picked them up.  Then they would add a little here and there to "take the edge off" I guess.  Now he is a screaming monster when he is hungry.  what to do now?  i don't want him to suffer and be hungry, but i need some kind of realistic schedule back.
