Nap Time 'Poopers'

[craftymissbeth]

I'm late to the party...wow! I knew I had read on here before about nap poopers because when I read it I had one myself that was doing it.
Things were so calm back then LOL

:: Things got WAY to crazy on that thread. I'm surprised the mods didn't show up ::::::


I change poopy babies as soon as I notice that they're poopy. But there are times that I honestly do not even notice. Some PP up there in this crazy town of a thread insinuated that if the children were properly supervised that we would all know as soon as someone was in the midst of a bowel movement. IDK, there are times when it's obvious, but there are times that it's not.

Not a toddler because i don't bother them while sleeping and wouldn't know until they got up and walked around.

Why are you always so bloody RUDE? Anything you say is said in a nasty, snarky way. Even if you have any valuable advice, you turn people off by the way you say it. You act like somebody died and made you the queen. You are NOT always right yet refuse to believe that there could be another acceptable way of doing really anything. You are one of the most judgmental people I have ever come across.

Oh State Regs...

Glad you brought them up...

Well let's see. How about

New York

417.11 (o) Infants must be kept clean and
comfortable at all times. Diapers must be
changed when wet or soiled.

417.8 (a)(1) The caregiver must
be awake at all times and physically
check sleeping children every 15 minutes

Maryland.

D. To assist in preventing the spread of disease, the provider shall:
(1) Promptly change a child's diaper, clothing, and bedding when soiled or wet;
(2) Follow diapering procedures designed to prevent the transmission of disease, which are established and supplied by the Office; and
(3) Maintain the surface used for diapering in a clean and sanitary manner.

Oklahma.

Center rules:
Section 25. Care of infants, toddlers, and two-year-olds

(6) Diapers are checked hourly and whenever the child indicates discomfort or
exhibits behavior that suggests a soiled or wet diaper.
(7) Diapers are changed promptly when wet or soiled.


family care rules
Section 93. Infants, toddlers, and two-year-olds
(d) Diaper-changing. Diapers are changed promptly when wet or soiled.
(1) A clean nonporous surface or pad is used for diaper changes and
sanitized after each use. Care is taken to prevent spread of germs

I honestly can't believe we are having to discuss this. It's a first for me and I've been on boards for 15 years.

Come on ladies... THINK
THINK about leaving any human being lying in poopy pants.

Poop happens. And when the poop hits the the fan, you gotta deal with it. That's life.

It's not being a bully. There's no kind gentle way to say you are being negligent. It would be one thing if this was a discussion of when to change but it's now a defense of something that is JUST PLAIN WRONG. We are trying to get you too see it.

I've been on daycare boards for 15 years and this is about the most ridiculous discussion I have seen. We have completely lost our ability to make basic common sense decisions.

I'm with you, Nan.

Wow, what a conversation!

I just want to point something out to anyone who may be on the fence of this issue - to those who may be thinking that there are times when it is acceptable to leave a child in a dirty diaper. Go back and reread some of Crystal's posts. Notice how she used the word "crap" and even "sh****" once. Aren't those powerful words that make you realize what is actually happening when you choose not to change a diaper? It isn't "dirty" or "poopy" or "BM" (all mild and, apparently to some, acceptable), it is CRAP, S***, HUMAN WASTE. Imagine using the bathroom and not wiping or flushing? How would your body feel? How would your house smell? Imagine a child vomiting in his sleep. What if the vomit only gets on his shirt (the way poop is contained in a diaper)? Would you let the child sleep with vomit on him? Definitely not right? Fecal matter in a diaper is no different!

Maintaining basic health and safety is BASIC, the very foundation of the care we provide. Let's aim much higher than that ladies!
