BF moms - Bottles for daycare - some ??

How do you give BM to daycare? Do you give them prepared bottles?

How are you able to prepare so much milk? I can only save 1 feeding per day right now for the freezer. The rest is pumped during the day.

If you continue pumping even after the milk stops flowing (an extra 5 minutes or so), it will tell your body to increase production. By the next day you should be able to pump more from each feeding.

You can definately do this!!!
You should pump after some of your big feedings, like morning.
It takes time to build up "extra supply". If you start you will slowly build up your freezer stash.
I sent the prepared bottles each day to daycare. I also put 2 frozen bags of BM in their freezer just in case they ever needed it.
I can help you figure out the logistics if you want.

I used both...whatever I could use. I made sure to use my freezer stash so sometimes I did 2 fresh and 2 frozen bottles.

I started with my freezer stash, but then used my daily pumped milk on an ongoing basis.. I think frozen BM has to be used within a day or something..
