8mo won't drink milk all day at nursery - should I worry? any ideas?

My DS2 has recently started nursery. On his first day he only drank 1oz. Then he improved on days 2 and 3 drinking 5oz, then 8oz. But on days 4-6 he wouldn't take a drop, formula or EBM.

Should I be worried? He will take a bit of water with his meals but i worry about him getting dehydrated. He is probably getting enough milk each day, as he usually has 5 BF in 24 hours - for example 5.30pm, 6.30pm, 10.30pm, 3am and 7am.

I was just wondering whether I should visit nursery in my lunchbreak to give him a BF, or whether other babies go on milk strike and are perfectly fine. Or whether to try him on cow's milk, to see if he likes the taste, as I was wondering whether some milk is better than none.

Anyone had this experience?
