[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]mom needs to have a better back up plan in place because [b]at some point she's not going to be able to produce enough milk[/b]. That's on her that the baby went hungry. You send more than you think you'll need and if your boobs can produce enough then you have another plan to make sure your kid doesn't go hungry. Also, he's more than three months, like PP said, it wasn't an exorbitant amount of time. I know it's hard to see a baby you love "suffer" in any way, but this isn't the worst thing that could have happened and he'll live to tell about it. ;)[/quote]

Huh? Why? Plenty of people pump more than enough for babies at daycare for a year or more. And, if there was more BM at home, clearly there was some to spare. Maybe he hit a growth spurt and suddenly needed more -- it doesn't sound like he's been going hungry on a regular basis.

I EBF and here are my thoughts:
1) Daycare should have a policy about this (what they do if they run out of milk in the middle of the day), and should have told mom when she signed up. If there was no policy, that's a crappy daycare. If they didn't follow the policy, then that's a crappy daycare. If mom didn't communicate the policy to the nanny, but the daycare followed it, that's on mom.
2) It sucks to see an unhappy baby, but he will not be scarred for life. If he was really crying from the time of the last feeding, something else was going on, b/c he shouldn't have been hungry right away.[/quote]
