[quote=Anonymous]Thought I could add some input here as I work at a daycare. In the infant room we currently have a 3 month old who is BF. Her mom drops her off around 9am, and picks her up between 4 and 5 pm.

Mom brings only enough BM for two BM bottles and then brings enough formula for 3 bottles. Baby eats 5 oz each feeding. 
At our center we have to offer a bottle every 2 hrs unless we had a note from the doctor stating otherwise. I personally think that's a bit much because the 11 month old we have does not need a bottle every 2 hours!

Now I don't know if Mom is switching baby from BM to formula but I feel like she should bring enough for two more BM bottles because baby does eat at least three bottles in the time she is there. Mom says baby can go up to 3 hours between feeds.

This is just my experience with BF so far at this center. I work at another daycare as well and I haven't been in the infant room long enough to know how they handle it at that center.

All daycares are different. Personally if I put my child in daycare and he/she was BF I would make sure to have the amount of BM I thought she would drink during the day, plus a couple extra bottles worth just in case! [/quote]
