The second day of work/daycare went well! J had an early morning meeting so I dropped N off at daycare and made it to work by 8 AM - I was thrilled. Pumping went well again and it was another slowish day at work which was nice. We're going to be really busy starting next week so I was glad to have another calm day.
N did really well at daycare again today. He took much better naps than he did yesterday which I think is a good sign. They also said he didn't cry at all today when he took his bottles which is great. I guess yesterday he cried each time he took one. One thing that has struck me as odd is that he's only eating like 2 oz. at most of his feedings, and then eating another 2 oz. about an hour later. It's odd because he's actually eating more frequently at daycare than he nurses when he's home with me. I kind of expected it to be the other way around. Has this happened to anyone else? So far daycare doesn't think it's a big deal and it doesn't bother me at all as long as he's being fed when he's hungry. I am wondering if I should send smaller bottles though so he can have a fresh one each time he's hungry. Thoughts?
Hey! I can never find an email to respond to your comments, so here I am :) I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has meltdown issues when its just baby and momma at home ;) Rick thinks its because I get anxious/frustrated/overwhelmed and C picks up on my emotions, but I hasn't figured out how to mask my emotions. Anyway, hows working and day care going now that its been a couple weeks? C starts daycare May 7 and I'm dreading it. Every time I put him down to nap in his crib at home I just think how different it will be at daycare for him and then for me at work too. Sigh :(
