I was ignoring it, but now the toddler parents have started to complain. Well, wait until there kids get to that stage. But today I told him firmly not to say that word unless he had to use the bathroom. And it did go a long way in stopping it.
Poop, should have tried that sooner.

I get it, but there are MUCH worse things he could be saying around their toddlers.

My preschool day care boy is in the "poop" phase.
"Knock, knock!
Who's there?!
Poop!"
And so on and so forth.

Last night right after the kids left and gone home. i was getting the overnight kids to bed and get a crazy text saying 2 year old fell and busted his head open and is in the hospital. Then a few minutes later i see fire trucks ,ambulance and police fly down my street for something else(scary to me since i recently had a house fire).i also seen a fire close by out walking the other day. Then tonight i asked how 2 year old was doing, mom said he was doing ok . she just text me back now saying he just fell and busted his lip open ,poor kid is gonna be pain and miserable.im glad it didnt happen here all that blood mom described would of made me feel sick. Its been a crazy week/weekend
mega surprise this morning at drop off: Dcm brought me the juice and said he was allowed to have it at 8am. He happily drank it down, easily pooped within an hour and a half of that and has been a dream of a baby all day! So happy!

I understand that. It really isn't smart to go behind their backs, but you COULD tell her that you will be giving the juice, that he NEEDS it, and that you feel it is cruel to withhold it from him when he can't poop without it. Tell her that either you'll give the juice or she can see the doctor about an alternate solution, but that you can't and won't let him suffer while in your care.

Dcg, 22 mos, is rarely here. She used to be a good eater, now will ONLY eat a couple bites of fruit. Drank 2 - 3 cups of water a day out of a sippy cup. Will not even touch a sippy cup, knocks it off the table with her arm.
She hasn't had a bottle or pacifier here since February.
Since she doesn't eat, they give her full bottles of milk all day. I can't convince the parents to take away the milk bottles.
Came 3 days in a row this week. First time since May. She is devouring a grilled cheese sandwich like she hasn't eaten in a month. She's also decided that water out of a sippy cup is just fine.
He is 4 months old. The doctor definitely recommended it. His mother would absolutely freak out if I gave it without her permission. She is super overprotective of her little one. When I make his formula bottles I can't even use water from my house. She provides exactly how much bottled water I'll need each day. If I gave him juice without her permission and without her supplying it and she found out, she would probably yank him right out of my care. I'm hoping she'll come around but it's still frustrating.

She freaks out over her baby having apple juice but is okay with him writhing in pain and being force fed?
Um, yeah....someone needs to go back and RE-READ whatever parenting book she's reading.
Poor baby. I agree with Sharlan; do NOT accept her method of treating child...call for pick up every time he starts crying due to constipation. With holding the juice that the Dr suggested is denying this child his right to be healthy AND happy.

Can you convince her to let you do it part of the time? I don't understand why it's ok for HER to do it but not you?? Tell her to not do it on weekends. And you can do it at dc. Poor little guy sounds miserable. I think if she doesn't come around I'd give notice. What she's doing isn't fair to her baby, to you or your group.
I didn't catch an age for this child, but when I give juice to a baby for constipation, I substitute prune juice for water (a 6 oz bottle would have 4 oz water and 2 oz prune juice and 3 scoops of formula, for example). Personally, I'd just give the juice if I knew that the doctor had recommended it.

I have an infant with terrible constipation issues. He literally writhes in pain and I can hear his stomach churning. MidwaY through his bottles he is usually screaming and curling up in a ball. And I basically have to force feed him which takes almost an hour for a mere 5oz bottle. He has always had digestive issues but the chronic constipation is new. The doctor advised parents to give him 2oz of apple juice at breakfast and at dinner to resolve the issue. DCM says they tried it over the weekend and it worked great. But she doesn't want to let him have it everyday or even twice a day so she isn't letting him have it on daycare days, which is 7am-5pm Mon-Fri. That leaves me with a miserable, constipated baby. Her reasoning is that she doesn't want him to confuse the Apple juice as a substitute for his formula because she is afraid he will stop eating the formula. And she doesn't want him to have diarrhea and she feels like that will happen if we regularly give him the juice. And she doesn't want him to think it's a regular treat. It's so frustrating! Let the kid have the juice already and stop acting like it's OxyContin or something!
