Cloth and daycare

The daycare I looked at had a drawer for each childs nappies and I was gonna supply a wetbag for the dirty ones to go in. You can buy a large wetbag for about $17 (holds a days worth). Where do they put the disposables for the other kids?

I personally think a wetbag should be good enough, I use mine when I'm out all day and it never gets stinky. The MCNs can be folded into a little parcel and that alone keeps the smells in. If they aren't accomodating I would look else where. It was an ABC centre that I looked at and it wasn't even an issue for them, they were more than happy to use them.

I would supply a wetbag and tea tree oil thing (as you said) and also flushable liners with the naps. Prestuff and perhaps mark which snaps the naps would be on.

I think you are being totally reasonable and I sooooo wish I had been a bit more assertive with Hannah's creche with her in naps and just told them I was using cloth and wouldn't buy sposies.

If you need to, tell them that he reacts really badly to sposies so you can't use them. (Not entirely untrue! They all get nappy rash at some point ) - Oh, and make sure you supply HEEEEAPS of naps. I know Han's creche used to change her about every 1/2 hour. (better that than the other way round I suppose!)

Well truth be told he had a bad reaction at sposies so I really don't want to put him in them again if I can help it. Even thou my friend told me that I could get a bag of budget nappies for him each week and it would cost me only $4 for daycare nappies, something I'd rather not pay for.

I was going to have them stuffed for them and I even told the head teacher that I would come down at their next staff meeting with Josh so that they can have a practical lesson with them and I would write up and instruction sheet for others to learn.

Oh well I have heaps of nappies so I can supply them with quite a few each day.

I may have a chat with the owner of the daycare at the xmas party this weekend about them.

Paws - where do they store Maddie's wetbag??

Hmm well now at least I have some info for my daycare. The head teacher did say that they were getting in another child that uses them as well so i'm hoping that they will be fine.

I've showed the daycare the nappies just after Josh went into them fulltime and they said that they looked easy enough (which they are) so maybe if I just take them in and tell them what to do when Josh starts

Success!!!

We had the daycare annual BBQ today and they all saw Josh in his nappies and they said piece of cake. I have to provide the wetbag for them and i'll take Josh in for some pre visits just after his first birthday and then i'll show them how to put them on him. There were a little worried about the smell till I reminded them that they have a days worth of sposies sitting in the change room and they stink.

When I had Maya in flats at daycare she was the only cloth butt there and I had to supply a lidded bucket for the dirty ones. Am hoping when the gremlins start there next year that there will be a few more cloth butts in the infant and toddler room.
