Good morning. The mom that fights me now on everything showed up today without formula ( I ran out here) she says "oh we aren't going to do formula anymore . We are giving her milk now". In this case, do u do what the parent wants or do u go with what a doctor would suggest? I am on the fence and was wondering what you ladies would do.

Whole Milk and 10 Month Old

In my daycare it's a rule that the child has to be fully switched over to milk and been drinking it solely for at least 5 days before introducing it in daycare. Allergies, intolerance... this is a good practice for any new foods, so I refuse to introduce them to the child. If the parent has switched the 10-month-old over at home over a week or two, so be it--that's not your call to make. But guarding against a bad reaction (especially if it's the first time ever on milk) is common sense for a daycare provider, especially if other kids are around. Good luck.

I am on the food program, and my sponsor requires breast milk or formula until 12 months (as is recommended). I'd insist on formula, but I would be providing it myself, too. Were I you, I'd tell Mom that you will need clearance from DCK's doctor and a note to keep on file explaining the medical reason for stopping formula early.

They have been given her both at home. I have always waited until 12 month. I haven't ever had a parent switch them this early. But everything is a fight with this mom and so I'm just not sure what to do. No I am not on the food program and personally I don't feel comfortable giving her milk because I know what a doctor would say. But this mom feels like it's her choice and that's that. But I also dont want to mess the baby up by her getting milk at home and formula here.
