How are your LO's eating at daycare?

My LO just started daycare yesterday and she only ate 3oz in 8 hours. My DH was able to get her 8-10oz when he was home with her and I'm pumping 13-15oz at work.
I'm hoping it was just excitement of the first day. Did anyone else have this issue? Are your LO's eating as well at daycare as at home?

  • My lo goes on spurts at dc, he never eats as much at dc as he does at home but his intake is anywhere from 5-12oz while I am at work. He makes up for it though one he gets home. Overall his oz amount are the same per 24 hours. My dcp is always trying different ways to feed to try to up his oz there. As long as he is still having enough diapers and he isn't crying inconsolably I wouldn't worry to much about it

    DD doesn't take a bottle well at all. It's a constant challenge for the ladies at daycare. It's a victory when she takes a bottle start to finish! Sometimes they will call DH to come down and try to get her to finish a bottle when the hour is up. She's been going to DC for 2.5 months now. Things will probably get better once she's get used to things.

  • LO didn't take much when I first went back to work, but picked up his eating once he got comfortable with his new surroundings.  Now they keep begging me for more food, lol.

    I hope this is the case for us!
    I am glad she was able to nap and they said she wasn't crying or screaming the whole day so that made me feel better.
