becole we did purrees for like a month then it was a 50/50 split with BLW, then mostly BLW by the end of that month . I mostly kept pouches to take on the go, but it was much easier to just given M a a little of what we were having.
I would like for it to be easy breezy so your solution sounds really good. We didn't use purees long with DS1 either but I was much more afraid of him choking. DS2 gag reflex is awful so I don't want him to get stuck on purees. He needs to get use to food back there.
Drop off is okay on days when I don't need to bring a bunch of stuff. The baby is holding his head up on his own so it's getting much easier to carry him down the hall with a bag or holding a hand since I can take him out of the bucket. They keep telling me they want more milk. More frozen backup milk. And asking when he's going to start food. I'm like he's almost there folks. He needs to be 6 months and sitting up. I know 90% of other people do food earlier but we all do our own research and come to different conclusions about what's best. Im also researching blw (basically giving him table food instead of purees.) I can't decide if I want to send food for him to have at daycare or just let them do purees.
I feel like they've been pushing you to do things faster and do them their way with baby. They're acting like every baby in their care is the same. I'd be so annoyed with them at this point.
In my experience, all daycare workers in the infant room want moar milk and moar food- keeps babies quieter. But it just makes me not feel so great. I'm sending 14 ounce for 9 hours and I send 4-8 ounces/ week as backup. He's a hunky chunky baby. I think he's okay.

I remember doing 4- 4oz bottles, and then switched to 3- 6oz bottles. So 16-18 ounces a day. The internet always said it was too much, but it worked so I went with it. He was a fat fatty, but the internet also told me overfeeding isn't as much of a concern with BM as with formula. The pedi never had concerns about his weight.
They pretty much never used the "backup" bottle after the first couple of weeks though. It was pretty much just in case of an emergency in case I didn't show up on time to pick him up, or if they accidentally spilled a bottle or something. That never happened. I think by now, they should have a pretty good routine.
dogmama22 Sorry Z isn't feeling well. I may have some kids shoes. Are adult dress shoes ok? I have some heels I don't wear anymore, but I'll have to check their condition.
They don't have a routine down because G doesn't follow a routine. Some weeks he has milk leftover and some weeks he drinks it all and wants more. So some weeks everything is fine and other weeks they're asking for more milk. He's going through the 6 mo growth spurt right now and I can understand asking for more milk since he seems hungry but my goal is 1 year breastfeeding and I can't pump more milk than I'm making and he's fine when he's with me. If it's just temporary, yes he can have a little more, but I don't want him to get used to it. He also naps well some days and leaves an entire bottle and other days he barely naps an hour all day and eats all of it. So I think it's combo tired. He's also fine when my mom had him and gave him more attention and he got better naps. Babies also get frustrated at the breast if they're getting a big bottle because 6 ounces isn't going to come out of my boob at one time. If they would just take my lead, it would be great.
