I Just Implemented A No Diaperbag Policy

[Core12]

My parents are great with the policy except the babies who are breast fed. Am I being too restrictive with the policy for them? I will soon have 8 babies under age 2 years old with an assistant and get overwhelmed with the diaper bags and 2 car seat carriers.

No diapers? How does that work???

[mrbrandonterry]

I'm curious too. Do you mean no diapers from home?

[Baby Beluga]

I think she means no diaper bags...not diapers.

If that is the case, no, I don't think not allowing diaper bags into care is restrictive. Many of us here do not allow them.

[BumbleBee]

Do you mean diaper bags or are you planning on supplying diapers or are you talking about cloth diapers?

I can just imagine a daycare with 8 babies and no diapers. ::

I'm guessing no cloth diapers.

I had 10 kids under 2... no diaper bags and no carseats allowed. Best decision ever.

How does a no diaper (or no diaper bag) policy affect breastfed babies?

I just implemented a no diaper bag policy.

Sorry about that!
The reason it could affect the breastfed babies is bc they bring breastmilk.

Oh, OK. I had a Mom who just put the breast milk in the plastic bags, and brought them in a small cooler bag that was kept in the freezer.

Parents can bring milk in a small travel cooler or a lunch bag?

I don't do diaper bags. The breastfed babies just bring a jug of milk every day and I give the jug back at the end of the day. I keep a few bags in the freezer in case I spill the jug. Use that once a month and freeze the jug of milk for the day.

I wash all cloth diapers so they bring a stock of ten and I take care of the washing. Whatever one the kid wears goes into stock and I use one of the stock to send the kid home in.

I don't want anything passing back and forth except for the jugs of milk. I keep the bottles for the babies at the house and wash them too.

I'm licensed for 6 and always allowed diaper bags. Until the lice hit last summer. It was an abrupt halt to anything coming from home except the child . I now have a storage unit that each child gets and that's where their diapers/wipes and 1 change of clothes go into. I get low, I request more. I have 1 that is breastfed right now and mom carries in a daily supply in her hand and I take right to the fridge. Is so much better, I highly recommend it!!! The parents actually really like it too. Less to worry about carrying every single day.

I also do not allow diaper bags but I still allow infant car seats. Breast fed babies can bring their milk needed for the day in a jug or whatever. I had one mom unthaw and bring in a jumbo water bottle.

I do no diaper bags as well. There are cubbies here for storage of extra clothes etc. You never know what might be in a bag (meds, lighters etc) and I don't want to go digging in a bag every time I need something and hoping they remembered to put it in there.
