DD is 5.5 months and ebf. I will be going back to work 4 days a week when she is 10.5 months old and she will be in nursery 8-6.
Is it inevitable that she will need to have expressed milk or formula while at nursery? I intend to carry on doing feeds before and after work and through the night if needed as well as feeding during the day on my non work days. I know she isn't supposed to have cows milk until she is 1 but I didn't know if it is possible for her to go without milk for 10 hours at that age if she is doing well on solids
From a practical point of view if she is going to need to have milk during the day at nursery I was thinking that I will to start getting her used to a bottle soon but it does seem to be a bit of a faff to do all the expressing and sterilizing etc while Iam with her everyday at the moment and so could just easily feed her myself. If she will be able to do without milk during the day then I won't bother trying to introduce a bottle.
Also, anyone who did similar in terms of work and feeding, did your supply adjust ok to feeding more on some days (non work days) than others?
Thanks
