[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any extra bottle you send, you should label as #1 and they should feed it 1st to the baby the next day. You'll need to bring it home with you and bring it back the next day. Bring an ice pack with you if you are concerned the drive is going to warm the milk up too much.

If it's a center, they've dealt with this before as many, many working moms pump and breastfeed. Ask them.[/quote]

I've done this.  Numbering the bottles is easy.  Just have your husband bring a bag with ice packs to work to bring home what doesn't get used.[/quote]

Have you run into issues with the day care feeding more than they'd normally eat?  [b]I'd rather he nurse more with me, even if it means waking at night.[/b] I'm not saying I want him fussing and hungry at day care either, of course![/quote]

First of all, you want your baby to get on a proper day/night cycle.  Reverse cycling is good for no one.

Also, in my experience, while day care providers will probably agree to stop feeding after a certain time, they are not going to be cool with letting your baby be hungry during the day.

I think you're overthinking this a little.  I sent 4 x 4oz bottles to daycare every day.  Generally, my baby drank all of them, but not always.  Daycare workers at a good center are going to have tons of experience with this.  Once you get into a routine, it's easy.
