[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you sound a bit high maintenance, [b]can you imagine if all the Moms wanted to pop in and out during the day to nurse their kids?[/b]
Our daycare told us that there were a few parents that would give their kids food that they knew they wouldnt eat at home, just to see if they would eat it at daycare. They said it happens quite frequently. This makes it harder on the daycare workers and not really fair on the kid either. That may be why they question you on that if he didnt like something.
If your kid seems constipated while he is there that may be why they suggested prunes/prune juice.
I would really try and take a step back. Pump during the day if you want to, but don't rush over there to nurse when they have a schedule and a plan for the day.[/quote]

I nursed my baby every day at lunchtime for six months.  I had a set time when I would arrive, and if the baby got hungry earlier, the staff would call me to see if I could come earlier.  They had no problem with it.  But it would have been much harder if I hadn't had a schedule and was popping in at random times.

I do wonder if OP has been putting out the vibe that she already knows everything, this isn't her first kid, she doesn't need their advice, etc.  Or gets defensive when they ask questions or make suggestions.  Because I can see this creating a bad dynamic--they make a suggestion, based on their experience and what's normal in that infant room; OP reacts defensively or know-it-all; they get annoyed and behave in a passive-aggressive manner, she gets annoyed, and every little incident feeds into this on both sides.
