Breastfeeding and nursery?

Hey, I totally understand how you're feeling, I went through the same thing when my little one started nursery at 9 months. He refused milk during the day at first and, to be honest, went without it completely while at nursery for the first few weeks. It was tough, but he would make up for it with big feeds as soon as we got home.

Gradually, he became more interested in the solid meals they offered, which helped ease the transition. Eventually, he settled into a rhythm of having breast milk just before and after nursery. When he turned one, I introduced cow’s milk, and that’s now the only milk he’ll take in a sippy cup, so if your little one enjoys it too, you could ask the nursery to offer her some as well.

It really does get easier with time. Hang in there, you’re doing an amazing job. 💛

She’ll adapt, is the short answer! If you’re worried you could try cutting out one of the feeds during the day so it’s not as big a transition for her, but I didn’t do that with my son and he’s fine! I send him with a straw cup and milk but tbh he didn’t drink much for the first few weeks. He just fed when he got home! Now he’s taking 60-200ml expressed milk a day at nursery and feeds lots at home. He just adapted! Also, when I’m not there, he’s not as fussy about milk.

Hello, completely understand how you’re feeling ❤️❤️ my little girl was exactly the same. When she started nursery, she just started having 2 feeds in the morning, a feed when she got home and a feed before bed. She was absolutely fine without milk during the day. Try not to worry ❤️ I wish I hadn’t worried so much. They’re old enough now to not need the milk during the day, but when they’re with us, they want it because we are their comfort ❤️ x
