My baby is starting nursery (she’s 13 months). Today was her first settling in hour. My baby has CMPA and we are working on introducing dairy to her with a dietician. For now she can’t have cows milk. She’s still breastfed. They said she can have oatmilk with breakfast and I’m happy with this as we do this at home too. However they also offer them milk to drink and I said I’m happy to provide breastmilk. The manager emailed me about it earlier and said it’s fine as long as it’s clearly labeled. The nursery worker seemed not keen and said she can drink oat milk and she can have breastmilk at home. Is it just me or was that comment wrong?

I would be 100% telling her it isn't her decision and this was already spoken about

It can be 1 or 2 things 1. She's lazy and don't want to deal with preparing it. As in warming out up etc/ making sure she doesn't mix it up i guess. Or worried about herself with liability and such. I know at a daycare I worked at if it isn't a new package etc we weren't allowed to take anything because we couldn't be sure it wasn't messed with.

I would have very strong feelings about this, I could not justify my child missing out on the health benefits of drinking expressed breastmilk. How dare they even suggest that?

What's up with people being uncomfortable with human breast milk. 😭 What do they think cows milk is?

If you can provide in line with their guidelines then they should be supportive!!

I worked in nurseries for 5 years before I had my own kiddo, and your child is 13months that’s much different than having this conversation over a 3 year old. Nurseries often have have a fridge of some capacity and children bring their own cups. There should be no issue with you dropping her off with breastmilk in a bottle and it being clearly labeled. They usually offer water cups during the day and then the milk only and meal times which again shouldn’t be an issue given the children sit down for meals it shouldn’t get mixed up. No issue do what is best for your child and your child’s teacher is paid to do the same.
I think we’ve been in it for seven weeks now. It started the night he turned 12 weeks and he’s nearly 20 weeks now. I’ve seen things saying babies just grow out of it but how long do we wait? How long was it for all of you?
I am losing my marbles. Broken nights for this long are ruining us all. My baby wakes up miserable because he’s had such a broken night, I am a zombie, and my husband feels guilty being off at work and leaving the two of us.
And it feels like it’s getting worse, not better. Now, we aren’t even getting a longer stretch unbroken at the start of the night, it really is literally every hour the entire night long.
Baby’s naps are awful too. If I can fix them, will the nights improve, or is it the other way round?
Do I keep just waiting this out?

Any tips for getting my 9 month old to sleep through the night? He’s sleep trained and falls asleep independently, but still wakes up 3–4 times a night. What worked for you?

Do they have 3? 2 in 1 leg and 1 in the other leg? How do they find it as they are so much more aware now! Do I give calpol straight away? Thank you x

My baby girl is 3 weeks and she’s breastfed . I’ve noticed when she doesn’t burp she spits up so I try my hardest to burp her . But when she falls asleep it’s kind of hard to get her to burp. What should I do ? Should I not worry about it or should I wake her to get her to burp

Am I the only one that has anxiety when left at home all day with my 3 month old when my other half is in the office? He wfh 3 days a week, and my anxiety is minimal when he is home. I constantly find myself watching videos on how to do CPR or what to do when he chokes on something now that he has the ability to hold things albeit still learning and im not leaving anything within reach of him swallowing anything he shouldn't. Is it because its right bang in the middle for potential of SIDS and will the anxiety ease up as he gets closer to the age of 1? Anyone else feeling the same?
