To be annoyed with nursery over milk?!

[Leonas]

My dd is 9months and goes to nursery 3 days per week. Overall, the nursery is fab and she has a great time there - lots of activities and time playing outside, healthy and interesting menu and the staff know her well and she adores them.
But, for the second time I have had her daily diary back saying that she was given milk to drink at snack time. At home she only has water (still breastfeeding twice a day) and I specified in her care plan that she should only have water. It is even written on the dietary requirements board next to the sign in desk! There is no medical reason for her not having it (she has cows milk in her cereal etc) but it is recommended that babies don't have cows milk to drink till 1 year and I would prefer she doesn't get used to having anything but water from her cup just now.
Am I right to be annoyed or am I being too pfb?!

Is it that they're giving her, her milk feeds at the same time as snack?

Personally I think probably a bit pfb as she has milk already (assuming it's cows milk in he cereal) but they should still respect your wishes

The nursery should respect your wishes
Just tel the room leader or maybe write in the diary

Your baby. Your rules.

They need to respect that.

you are right. they shouldn't be giving cows milk as a drink until 1. it should be formula or breast milk until then.

Just ask. It's not a big deal, really. They should be able to help you there. I jthink you are wrong to be annoyed over something so small, just remind them again, maybe in writing?

I work in a baby room in a nursery and they should absolutely not be giving cows milk to under 1s as a drink (unless permission sought from parents)

They would have my head on a plate for this. But my manager is a horrible wanky old cowbag.

I would definitely bring it to their attention as there is a process failure here that could affect another child with allergies.
I wouldn't be worried about your child drinking milk though.

I'm a bit confused.

The reason babies shouldn't have cows milk as a drink underthe age of one is because it would replace a formula/breastmilk feed but be less nutritious.

Are they giving her cows milk instead of water? If so, cows milk is the better option so I wouldn't be worried. If the cows milk is instead of formula/breastmilk, then they are being very unreasonable as they're denying her the nutrition she'd get from the formula/breastmilk.

On the whole, I think the nursery should be honouring your wishes. But if you have asked them to restrict a 9 month old to just water and solids all day, then I can see why they've overridden your wishes (given no allergies etc). They would be neglecting your daughter if they just gave water and solids at 9 months, whatever your instructions.

It isn't "neglect" for a 9 month old not to have milk between 8am-6pm Happy, don't be ridiculous!

A baby room shouldn't be feeding any under 1 cow's milk as a drink. They should be having formula or breastmilk. I'd want to be sure they aren't feeding her another baby's milk.

maybe it is a mistake on the form rather than they have given her milk... retrospectively filled in and every child had milk apart form your dc so they just wrote milk...

YANBU - if you want your baby to have water then they should respect that. Cows milk is for baby cows - I wish I had known, when my DS was younger, what I do now about cows milk. Thankfully he only had it for a short while, but a cursory amount if research brings up all the reasons why humans shouldn't have it at all. And I'm not a massive woo!!

YANBU as the nursery should be following your wishes, but only two 'servings' of milk a day seems to be not very much. Breast milk (or formula) is still a main source of nutrition at this stage.
