Just curious what others' experiences have been with sending breastmilk to daycare after their LOs first birthday.

    I'm still pumping for my son and plan on doing so until at least June. I'm a teacher and that's the end of the school year, it's become such a part of my routine I figured it's not inconvenient to keep going. The reason I was asking, my son is moving from the infant room at daycare to the toddler room. His new teacher hasn't ever had a baby that is still drinking breastmilk at school. To me it seems perfectly normal to be doing so. He won't be a year old for another two weeks. I don't really care what other parents think but was just curious what other people out there were doing or had seen in their own experience.

    I am also a teacher and continued to send pumped milk until the end of the school year with my dd years ago. i would fill her sippy cup with pumped milk in the AM and I also left frozen in their freezer that the DC staff would thaw when needed. It was never a big deal to them or me. I hated pumping sooooo much but, like others, I did it for my DD's sake. God job, momma!

    Our daycare (YMCA) had no issue what-so-ever taking my breastmilk. They also had no issue dealing with cloth diapering. I didn't pump because I needed to, I pumped because I had to. I had such an oversupply issue that pumping or hand expressing was my only relief and I ended up donating hundreds of bags to HumanMilk4HumanBabies website.
