Topic: What do you do for daycare? Posted: 24 April 2008 at 12:57pm |
Tom starts in a couple of weeks and we are lucky enough to find a daycare that will happily do cloth nappies. So those of you that also have nice daycares, what do I need? Wetbags etc?

Leo goes to daycare 2 x mornings per week and they also happily use cloth. I just send 3 spare nappies, which I bought cheap off TM (just in case anything was to happen to them, didn't want it to be a Foxybot!), and when they change him they put the dirty nappy into a plastic supermarket bag and pop it into his backpack. So easy! They even provide either disposable wipes or cloth wipes, whichever you prefer.

My friend runs a daycare who takes cloth and she said its best if the parent provides a wetbag. It's nice if its scented but it doesn't have to be.

cool! now with regards to a wetbag...what is a proper one like? I made a basic one out of the nylony stuff that greenbeans sells...but I have heard something about lineing them with microfleece which I havent done.

You only need a bag of any waterproof material. I haven't tried making one out of nylon but so long as it's waterproof it will do fine.

i send charli to daycare with 2 naps already stuffed and with a liner. that's it. i don't need to send a wetbag, they just pop the dirty one into a plastic bag and then into her backpack. they rinse it if #2's
she goes 2 mornings a week for 3.5hrs

You are so lucky you found a daycare that will let you use cloth.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I don't see how they could not let us? Wouldn't it be discrimination of one kind or another?

It's years since I had a daycare baby in cloth, but when I did I took a lidded bucket which they lined with a plastic bag and at the end of the day I just grabbed the plastic bag and took it home. That was pre the days of wetbags tho!

Ask the daycare. I have to supply a lidded bucket, and take that home each night. They didn't want to use a wet bag (just after I brought one for the purpose!)
They also told me that they don't 'do' anything with the nappy, except take it off and put it in the bucket. However, I supply pocket nappies (and add a flushable liner), they do put the liner down the loo, with most of the poo.
Luv daycares that say yes to cloth  There is one other baby in cloth

Most of the teachers at our childcare use/d cloth on their own kids so I think that helps when it comes to being supportive of cloth. Most of the babies are in disposables so they love that Leo's in cloth  - in fact I always take in any new naps to show off (they especially love the Foxybots & D'lishs!) - it's nice to have other cloth enthusiasts to talk to.
