DCM Didnt Bring Bottles

[Breezy]

Ugh! DCG didnt come fed and screamed all through getting breakfast for the toddlers, I then went to get her a bottle and no bottles in the bag! I have bottles here but medium and fast flow nipples. No slow ones anymore as I donated them. They are also not Dr Brown Bottles which is what this DCG uses. Mom works 1.5 hours away...feeding should be interesting today. She already is a challenge trying to get her to eat in the first place. She was not happy the nipple I have here is medium.

Guess mom will be leaving a bottle here from now on.

Ugh!! So sorry Breezy! I have had that happen too. I now require the parents of ALL infants to purchase and leave at daycare a bottle with two nipples. I NEVER want to be in that situation again as it is hard.

Is there anyone who can run to the store and purchase one for you or can you?

Good luck with the day....hope all goes well for you.

I was considering going after my first DCG leaves at 11:30. I wont have room in my car for all the carseats before then. I also text mom to let her know and told her DCG is not happy about it.

I have all of my parents keep 3 bottles and an extra can of formula here at all times.

I pick up a few jars of baby food on hand, too.

I require two bottles to be left at daycare. Anymore then that and I have too much clutter to look out for. I find two works great. Three if a parent likes to take a bottle on the run home- sometimes they ask, because they are not going straight home or whatever

Maybe a friend, or relative could make a store run for you- I would probably ask the parent to reimburse me for this, as it is doing her a favor. The bottle would be staying after that--- UGH!

What was Moms reaction?

I have no friends or relatives in this state

Mom said "I knew I was forgetting something" and thats all.

Well, at least she didn't forget the baby...

If DCG doesnt eat something soon so she can nap I think I will be calling her to pick up. Shes had an ounce or formula since 4am

If you have no way to feed her, call the parent now. She won't forget next time. Sorry Marge your going to have to bring me a bottle. I don't have one here that she will take and I need to be able to feed baby adorable. I have no way to get a hold of one. Maybe the mom has a friend that can pick one up and drop it off or a relative- You can't work with out the supplies you need and its the parents job to supply them. I would make sure for now on that you have bottles left at daycare along with any other supplies you need. Choice is hers, bring you a bottle or come pick up your child. I can't and refuse to work this way-

What was the outcome?

[Breezy]

DCG barely ate any formula all day which is nothing new really. Barely ate anything actually including the baby food. Just pushed it all away.

Anyway, I let DCD know all this at pick up and that mom brought no bottles and he said well I guess youll have a bottle when you get home then huh? To DCG.

I guess make it a habit to check the bag BEFORE they leave baby with you. No bottles, no stay.

I tell my parents this is the child's second home. They need back up clothes formula bottles, etc just in case of an emergency. If the parent had a wreck on the way home and i had the kid over night I would need what ever they would have at home to accomodate the child. I make the bottles each morning anyways but i require an extra can of formula here in case of an emergency. And yes this actually happened to me. A parent did have a wreck, it was closing time and they weren't here and the baby was hungry. This is where I got the idea from. I also had one get stuck out of town one day as well and i had the baby late into the night so I just get prepared.

That stinks! I dont do the diaper bag thing. I require extra clothes, 2 bottles and all diapers creams etc to be dropped off here and left here. That way if something runs out it is nobodys fault but my own. I don't have time to be messing with each kids diaper bags everyday either.
