[quote=Anonymous]My son's daycare also tried to stop me from sending breast milk when my son entered the toddler room at 14 (?) months because only "milk in sippy cups" (daycare provided the milk and cups) was allowed. Also, they wouldn't allow me to send food from home anymore... my son was initially a very picky solid food eater so he basically didn't eat food all day, only crackers. I told the daycare director that I was bringing a note from his pediatrician to allow me to bring breast milk and lunch for him (food in case he refused the center's lunch)... she said it would be okay if I brought a note, so I did. I stopped sending food after a month to force him to start eating more variety or go hungry (that worked), but I still send a bottle or 2 of breast milk every day even though he's 20 months old. The teachers just pour my milk in a sippy cup, and he drinks it at the table with his meal or snack. Another kid in his class has bad allergies so his mom provides all of his food and milk each day.

You are paying big bucks for daycare so the center should accommodate your child's needs for such a reasonable request! It's not like you asked to bring in peanut butter sandwiches. And good for you for continuing to pump!  :D
