[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school encouraged sippy cup use in toddler, and therefore served the children the same drinks - either milk or water.  They did not allow breastmilk because it was must be handled individually.  Also, not sure why you would be serving breastmilk in a cup?  I BF at home until 16 mos, but it was not an issue for DD to take regular milk at daycare after 12 mos.  Our school did of course allow soy or alternative milk for kids with allergies or just if parents desired.  But again, that doesnt require the special handling that breastmilk does...[/quote]

Not the OP, but my child is dairy and soy intolerant, so we nursed through the second year.  That is why she would get breastmilk in a cup; after soy, the alternative milks are nowhere near as nutritious or comparable to breastmilk or cow milk.  I don't see why a school would be able to handle Aiden's soy milk but not Aiden's breastmilk, especially if the facility has refrigeration for kids in the infant room, surely there's space for one more thermos a day?

OP, you mentioned that it was early to switch rooms, is there a reason you're not waiting until the more typical time?[/quote]

It might be due to the fact that breast milk is bodily fluid and Alimentum isn't.  I think there are extra precautions they have to take to separate breast milk bottles from formula bottles in the infant rooms. [/quote]
