Thanks everyone. I think I have it sorted. I have started expressing and freezing it into ice cube trays and soon I will start her on vita brits and she can have some EBM with that when she wakes after her first sleep at child care. So I will be able to feed her when she wakes at 5.30, when I drop her off at 8, EBM with her cereal around 9.30, snacks of solids until 1.15pm when I call in to feed her during my lunch break and put her down for her second nap and then I pick her up at 3.30pm, so I can feed her whenever need be from then on. She is still waking in the night, and I dream feed her at about 8.30pm, just before I go to bed, so I think she will still end up with around 7 serves of breast milk in a 24 hour period.
My husband thinks I'm crazy worrying about this now, seeing it's still 2 months away... but if I don't, who will. And I am starting to try and fit her feeds/meals and sleeps around this routine so when she starts going to care, there is no change in her routine, just the people around her. I'm also going to book her in a couple of days before she has to start, so she can have some half days there, and before that I'm going to just call in every now and again to say hi with her so she gets used to the place.
