anybody elses baby not interested in milk while at nursery?

[iamusuallybeingunreasonable]

D has been ebf, has just started nursery ft and won't touch milk while she's there, I bf morning, evening and thro the night, but while she's there won't touch a drop, she's 6 months.... is this ok? She is having 3 solid meals a day and water, I always suspected she did most of her feeding at night.... any experiences welcome

My DD was like this,would have nothing to do with anything other than a breast - but she was around 11 months so a bit older than your DD. Same was true of my best friend's son - who also fed in the night a LOT. She went back to work when he was about 5 months and he never ever drunk any of the gallons she expressed.

Hi, I had this too - again my DS2 was a little older at 9 months. He's a complete boob lover and I was worried how he'd get on - he'd always refused a bottle.

I sent him with expressed bm but he refused it, I sent him some cartons of ready made formula, but he just wasn't interested.

He still comes home and demands milk (he's just started signing it and signs it from the minute he sees me, whilst squeezing him into his car seat, and from the minute we get in the door until we get on the sofa and latched).

He then has another feed at bed-time, then one at some point in the night (co-sleeping) and maybe one around 6am.

I came on here to have a mooch around for ideas to encourage him off the boob...I've about had enough and I'm desperate for more than four hours sleep in a row.

Oh, I didn't say - he's now 16 months old and still BF in this pattern.

just marking my place. ds2 is 11 months and i'm starting back at work in 2 weeks. he feeds 4 times a day, during the day.

DD refused a bottle totally at nursery (9months) but would take one from my DH if he picked her up early.

She was fine, drank a little water and took some solids. It was me who was heartbroken, pouring pints of EBM down the sink as it had been heated and abandoned at nursery

I had a feeling I wouldn't be alone, she's the only breastfed baby they have, and I think they think it odd, she's always been hard to feed, distractable, just don't want her to suffer, but I guess you can't force these things

DD will take from 80-160ml (3-5oz) between 10 & 4 in the creche, which is nothing compared with their formula fed babies, so she's just snacking so she's not starving until I arrive. She then feeds all evening and most of the night . She's 8 months and not great with solids either.

Have you tried milk in a cup? Out of curiosity is it formula or expressed milk?

Formula and expressed, and always a cup, she doesnt do bottles either, another hoov fiend here, plastic just won't do!

Boob*

OP from all the threads I've read about this ( and I've lurked on loads) as long as they are getting milk at some point it's fine. It just depends how well you cope with them catching up all night!
I'm going back to work full time in two months, when DD is almost 8 months old. :(
I have already started my freezer stash of EBM, despite DD being a bottle refuser. She has used a sippy cup... once. I am delusional optimistic that she will drink during the day. So is DH, who thinks we will stop co-sleeping too.
