What to do?

My daughter just started daycare this week. I'm working part time 10-3 the first two weeks then full time after that. My daughter is breastfed and will only take a half ounce to a whole ounce at a time through a bottle but she eats all of her cereal, so they've been giving her cereal twice a day which is ok for the part time days. But once I go full time there are going to have to be some feeding where she is only offered the bottle since I only want her to have cereal at most twice a day. Will my child catch on to the bottle? Or refuse to eat? Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?

Re: What to do?

  • She'll likely catch on. Just tell them to keep at it. Have you looked for a bottle that she likes more?

  • We've tried several different bottles and the only one that semi- works is this avent one.

  • My daughter just started daycare this week too but had some time with family beforehand. She started to do better with the bottle before break but I had a week and a half off with her and she didn't take it very well at the start of this week. Today though she took 4 bottles, and we found that she likes the Lansinoh momma bottles.best. . I'm guessing your DD will.do better with some adjustment time. Just ask daycare to be persistent.

  • My DD got better at the end of the second week. She like the Lansinoh momma bottles best as well.

  • She will most likely adjust and start taking more by bottle. But some babies do reverse cycle, so she may just start eating more during the hours you are together and only eat a little when you are apart. She will adjust to what makes her comfortable land feel good.
