Thanks Ladies,

Jodi, yes the 50ml idea is great! I do a similar thing here now I am trying to get V to take a bottle with 20 ml "practice" bottles which sometimes she takes and others only booby is good enough lol.

MantaRay thats good to know that she may adjust her eating around daycare too I never thought of that, that she might hold out for the real thing lol

snugglybean its nice to hear the pov from the carer too, thanks

Leckert, thats also good to know she will be a bit more predictable as she goes..I take it you collect the ebm through the week for the daycare days? Thank God I only am doing one day at first lol or Id have to get an electric pump!

I was so embarrassed when discussing with the carers today I could not ask these questions as I was starting to cry thinking of leaving my baby anywhere with anyone.

I applaud the exclusive expressers, I express every school day (should be doing it at least 3 times a day there, lately it's only been 1-2 times ) so I've got fresh EBM for the following day (Friday's milk lasts til Mon in the fridge). I'm already over expressing and I only do it 5 days a week for the last 4 months. (at least I've got a bit of stock in the freezer so when I don't get enough that day I can still send EBM to CC; just have to make sure they use that milk first)
