Sending BM to pre-school?

[spacedew]

My 18 month DD starts pre-school on Monday and currently nurses on demand. She will always nurse before and after naps. Is it weird to send a bottle of BM with her at her age?
I haven't talked with the school yet but she doesn't drink anything besides BM or water (dairy allergy) and will only drink BM out of a bottle.

I would talk to the school, our preschool only accepts BM in the Infant A and Inf B classroom 6wk-12mo.

Ours is fine with BM but they wouldn't not Allow the bottle

Agree with PPs to just give the school a call. Ours is fine with the BM but wants it in a straw or sippy cup.

Our place has a "no bottles or outside food" after 12m rule, but they accepted a note from out allergist and agreed bottle made sense early on.

After she saw the other kids using cups, leah rejected the bottle outright at dc. But, she still takes a bedtime bottle if I work late (18m now).

Ours also has no bmilk beyond 12 months. They'll make special arrangements for medical reasons (food allergies etc).

wow, I had never envisioned that they'd say no to BM. Wow. Good to hear that they're saying okay based on allergy issues for those kids with allergies (like mine!).

Ours would be fine with bm just not bottles.

Thank you everyone. For some reason I was really nervous to even ask. I will come prepared tomorrow just incase they say yes. I would have never thought to get a note from the doctor. Thank you for suggestion!
