Let me start off with saying I love most of the people of the daycare, but I am at a loss of what to do right now.
When she first started I asked that they do paced feeding so she fills up on what I send in as well as reducing any BFING issues. I guess Kaylee doesn't do so well with that and screams so they just give her the bottle and stop to burp, but not as frequently as I would like. I send in 4 3.5oz bottles a day. Some days it lasts her all day and other days *like today* the 4th bottle is given around 230. The problem is she has eaten 4 times and I have pumped 3 times and today I only averaged 3oz/bottle. I will likely thaw a bag of milk and split it between the 4 bottles to up the amount to 4oz/bottle for tomorrow.
I just don't want to start hitting my freezer stash so she can be satisfied at daycare unless I absolutely have to. I don't want her to start expecting more out of me if I can't produce. If it keeps up, I don't know how long this journey will continue.
I am not sure how I am going to keep up with her demands when she isn't here to help regulate and when I don't know which days are going to be good vs. bad. As it is, I am pumping every 2.5 hours. I am going to try to get to Wegmans this week for some mothers Milk tea/fenugreek/lactation cookies. Hopefully that will help. I was going to power pump at 430, but she is going to want to eat when she gets home, so that isn't going to happen.
Sorry this became so long! I just don't know what to do right now and need to vent!
