[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom should have sent more milk.  They did the best they could.  Mom is at fault. [/quote]

They did NOT do the best they could.  I agree that Mom should have sent more milk but that doesn't absolve the daycare of any fault.  People can miscalculate, the baby may have been going through a growth spurt and the mom didn't realize there wouldn't be enough etc.  There are any number of reasons why there may not have been enough milk.  That doesn't make it ok to let a baby cry for hours in hunger without bothering to contact anyone on the emergency list.  It doesn't matter that the baby will be fine and obviously won't remember this incident.  It doesn't make it ok.[/quoteelse.

The mother should know if baby is going through growth spurt.  It is the fault of the mother and no one r[/quote]

Do you have children?  Clearly you don't know much about babies or growth spurts.  Here's an example of how a typical few days might go.  Baby wakes up, mom breastfeeds (she has no idea how much baby eats while breastfeeding since there's no marker for ounces on mom's breast), mom takes baby to daycare where baby takes a 4 ounce bottle every 4 hours.  Baby comes home and mom continues to BF.  Next day baby wakes up, mom BFs then takes baby to daycare.  Suddenly baby wants to eat every 2 hours instead.  Daycare calls mom and says "I think baby is going through a growth spurt and we are going to run out of milk.  We can try giving baby formula or if you can you could drop off more milk." Mom makes decision.

I'm not sure how in the typical scenario mom is supposed to know without a heads up from the daycare that baby was going through a growth spurt.  I have 3 children and in my experience growth spurts are completely unpredictable and I only know if I'm home with the baby all day.

Get off your miserable high horse and stop trying to blame parents for everything.[/quote]
