You may all remember my post about my client whose daycare was feeding her less than 3 month old infant 24 oz of expressed breastmilk a day, and insisting that the baby needed to eat hourly or was miserable. I thought I'd post an update. Armed with some info from me (and many of your suggestions) this mom approached her daycare center's director. The director was unaware of the situation, and promised to spend a day observing in the classroom. The director spent the day with the infant and realized that many of his cues that he was tired and needing assistance to rest were being interpreted as hunger instead. She helped the classroom teacher work out ways to comfort this baby instead, and to allow him the rest he needs. The mom reported to me yesterday that the infant is now taking about 12-16 oz per day, napping regularly, and crying very little at daycare according to the providers. He is making up by nursing a lot more at home (which the mom is happy to accomodate) and she has noticed as a benefit that her milk supply is staying robust due to his frequent feeds. So, at least for now, all is going well and the mom is pleased with the way the situation turned out.
