Daycare and bottles

[LindsayLucas]

DS is 4 weeks old and will be starting daycare in a month. He's only going 2 days a week(full days). How do you deal with your LO's feedings. Do you send premade bottles? the container of formula and they make it themselves?

DS eats 4oz every 3-4 hours. Sometimes after an 1.5hr he's hungry again but we just give him an ounce or two and he's set. Just wondering how they would deal with that. I hope we will have more of a routine by then.

You should speak to the people at daycare and ask what they will and won't do.

The nurseries I've seen in the UK require you to have made the bottles already and then they store them in the fridge. They then warm them up when needed.

I agree with talking to them and see what they want. I'm in the States, and I just send 2 bottles every day. We keep a container of formula there, and they tell us when they need more. A container lasts a month for us at daycare, so it works out well. But I know in some other states, it's different.
