Shaking Mad... Need Advice ASAP

[nannyde]

I don't allow food from home or premade bottles....but then I got to thinking....does breastmilk in a bottle or bag count as premade? I mean...I could see a parent slipping meds in that just as easily as formula. But I wouldn't want to deny a parent the choice to supply breastmilk. So how do you ensure that it hasn't been tampered with? Has that ever been an issue for anyone?

I require a jug of milk and or a weeks worth of bags at a time. It would be difficult to dope a 18 oz jug

Ok makes sense. Thanks for the insight. This topic just makes me paranoid. Good learning opportunity here at least.

Yes. They also bring benadryl bottles. If a parent brings bottles and tells you which ones to give at what time there may be meds in them.

Tylenol advil bottles before nap and benadryl bottles before going home. This takes care of the nap fever and gets the kids tired so they can go right to bed when they get home.

I never allow premade bottles.

Jaysus. I guess I should feel lucky that all of our parents are big into homeopathy.

I feel the same… I run an all natural, organic home; my parents hate traditional meds

And this post here is EXACTLY why I do like others and don't allow any pre made cups or bottles. BF babies milk has to come in the frozen bags and must be labelled and dated..

I do give meds.... I allow some meds to be given before arrival. However in the case of laxatives I ask parents to plan ahead and give those before a few days off because if it "kicks in" here and they develop diarrhea, they have to come pick up the child.

Well, I don't believe in it, but I know it can't do any harm. We do, however, often get plain brown bottles and instructions on when and how much to take. Eh, no. I need an insert telling me what it is before I can give it to a kids, thanks.

A few weeks ago I had a 5 yo poop her pants. It was the most disgusting, smelly diarrhea! When I asked her why she did that she said because she wanted to continue to play! I told her that was not acceptable and that when we are 5 we have to use the toilet and stop playing if we have to go. Mom picked up and said she had started her on mirilax a few days prior and that she had diarrhea at home too! Duh!! Thanks for the heads up!

Ugh!!! That's just so wrong!! Does mom want to be stuck at work with diarrhea? Highly unlikely! Why would the child want to be at daycare with it?? :confused:

I don't trust any kind of food or liquid coming from home.

*Formula bottles-Only store bought sealed containers of formula are accepted

*Breastmilk bottles-They provide expected amount for 1 week. I prefer frozen, bottles are made here.

*Baby food-only unopened store bought containers are accepted. If they do homemade baby food, they bring enough for 1 week, frozen.

*Specialty milks-(Allergies, dairy free,...)-Only store bought sealed containers are accepted.

*Specialty foods-(I have one that is dairy free, vegan,...)They provide the foods, but they come in unopened store bought containers.
