X is still refusing BM at daycare. It's been 4 weeks now. We've tried bottles/sippies, hot/warm/cold, fresh/frozen, he won't drink it. He does drink water like a champ though and he will nurse well once he's home. So do I keep pumping while he's away?

You know we're in the same boat. E has taken some BM in his straw sippy while it's cold. I'm going to keep pumping so that I have my same supply. I want him to be able to nurse on demand. I've noticed though that I'm allowing myself less time at the pump. I'm no longer necessarily waiting for the second letdown.
I pump 11-16oz while at work and D only drinks 2-5 in that time but I continue both sessions to keep my supply up because when I am home she nurses at those times.
I plan on donating the extra. I just donated 100oz that I pumped in the summer before it went bad because I will never use it all.
I hate pumping but I want to keep my supply up until she's a year.
