    Please Change Their Bum On Your Days Off

    no its not from teething or a cold. I can tell that dcb hasn't been changed much yesterday and sat in his poop for a while. The give away, the creases in the legs are the reddest. Now I have to fix it and this may be the reason he's been crying when you dropped him off. Grrr, on your days off, change their bums!

    Icam!

    I have a parent who is bad about this too! It's really bad when she has two days off in a row. Poor kids.

      its terrible! i dont know how a parent can be okay with that. one mom i knew (not a daycare mom, i would never take her!) publicly told me one time she dresses her kids in fleece jammies because when the diaper is full, the fleece will absorb pee that is overflowing and she only uses two diapers a day.....like this was some type of great tip she was sharing. her kids always smelled and they were some of the worse criers, poor things.

          Mine is cloth diapered and wears fleece as an extra diaper cover overnight (with fleece inside so any dampness won't irritate her skin. I am pretty sure my kid foes through AT LEAST 12 diapers a day. 2!!!??? is crazy talk and icky.

          That is sad. Maybe suggest some tips so embarrassed mom stops doing it.

              the worst part is that i don't notice it till I do a bum change which isn't right away so how do you prove it.

                I had DCB's Nana tell me she forgets to change him sometimes until his diaper is flooded. Nice... Usually he comes in a fresh diaper but once his diaper was totally full and within an hour the gel started leaking out!! Ugh I was mad!! What a mess that stuff is to clean up!!

                  OMG! That happened here a few minute after a DCB was dropped off. I noticed it on my hardwood floors & was trying to figure out what it was when I saw if come from his pant leg! I yelled, "FREEZE" cause a few of the wee ones were about to pick some up!! McNasty!!!

                    That's disgusting! And terrible that she is THAT lazy or THAT hard up for money she won't take care of the kid! Yuck!

                    I also have a friend who you can tell didn't change her kid because diapers would sag and turn yellow! Gross! I could smell urine the SECOND my kids went pee and let me tell you, I didn't wait for a 2nd one. Sometimes, I changed more than one diaper in an hour or so, and sometimes they'd grace me with a couple hours, but never did they sit in them very long, with the exception at night when everyone's sleeping, and then they would get changed immediately in the morning.

                      I always start the day with a fresh diaper change the minute they get here. That way I KNOW they are clean and ready to go, and I can document anything I see right away.

                      If they are totally soaked from an overnight diaper, I make sure to mention it at pick up. I haven't had to do it often, but calling them out on it just once usually does the trick.

                            so glad its not only me--but wait its even better. I couldn't figure out this weird smell. I can identify poop from which kid (not a great skill to share with others but with you guys you understand !) well I go and change the boy and its him. His clothes smell like mildew musty barfy smell. Its starting all over again.

                            I use to watch his other brothers and they use to smell like this too. But the baby didn't smell like this till today. I mean guys this smell is so over powering. No, there isn't anything wrong with their washer and dryer they are new.

                            so I put some cream on the child and did lots of bum changes. Not only did we have less crying but dcb seemed so much better.

                              Me too. I have had a couple of early risers in my care, so they may have been changed...at 5:00am when they got up But by the time they get here at 8:00 they were over due for another change.
