Ds is 8 months, and starts full time nursery next week.
He has 4 settling in sessions, and apart from a few tears (mainly when I come to get him ) he has been very happy and content.
But his keyworker (who is lovely btw) is a bit worried that he is getting hungry while he is there, as he will not drink any of my EBM.
As I have mentioned here about umpteen times he will not take a bottle, and is not that interested in cups.
He was in nursery for 6 hours today, and ate some fruit at snack time, but very little lunch. He ate his tea which I made for him when I got home.
Now I've only really got him eating breakfast and dinner, he doesn't tend to eat lunch as he tends to feed fairly regularly and also tends to have a nap when I have my lunch.
I've been asked to take food in for him to have a lunch, but thinking about it, I don't think it is necessary - if he is hungry he will eat, and I think eventually he will start drinking more EBM. He'll be at nursery nearly 10 hours a day, but I plan to feed him just before I take him and when I pick him up.
My gut feeling is that he'll be ok, he won't starve himself and he will make up feeds during the evening/nighttime, and hasn't been feeding a great deal during the day anyway. When I picked him up to day, he was very happy and content (after a short bout of crying, I think it was the shock of seeing me lol).
Has anyone got any previous experiences like this they could share so I could give the nursery some ideas of what to do with him?
