Daycare question: my 11 week old's daycare is not washing bottles and nipples with soap and hot water between uses. Anyone else see an issue with that?
@cnew12, which makes sense for older babies but not a 10 week old. They need to be kept a little safer bc they are still immature. I offered to provide enough bottles to just use a fresh one every time and they refused
I worked at a daycare in the infant room and the parents were responsible for bringing water if they didn't use tap and we just rinsed bottles after use and they were to be sent home daily at pick up. I live in TX though so idk about other states.
And health dept has to approve water supply. The center has no findings on any survey in the past 5 years.
@littlemissrainesmommy, nothing in Kansas regulation says no warmers. Just no microwave heating. I can't find any regulation that expressly states how the bottles must be cleaned either.
um... wow.. that's against state code. they HAVE to clean them.. and they are supposed to have filtered water... smh. and they aren't supposed to be using warmers
@jujukiss, it's really not. I just think corners are being cut. I love it otherwise.
@hermommy, ugh right?! Thank goodness it was only one bottle and he threw up that entire feeding. I'm so mad they aren't washing bottles between and got annoyed when I brought enough bottles for them to use fresh each feeding bc it takes up too much space. Right now he is getting a fresh nipple every feeding but I'm gonna e having a talk with the director tomorrow
@jujukiss, we use mam bottles that you can't warm in. Despite me providing a bottle for them to warm in they still used my mam bottle and wasted 4 oz of very expensive formula. Now he just gets room temp bc I don't trust them to warm it right. The pre-made stuff has to be refrigerated so I want to avoid them having to warm.
omg i dont blame you that can make them SUPER sick what on earth were they thinking
it's probably a lot of work but can you bring pre made bottles from and just tag babies name on them
I thought so too. The first day they made his bottle with tap water and I almost lost my shit!! @pilypilypily @hermommy @mylovejude
That's weird! We accepted 6 weeks as our youngest but every child had multiple bottles. I'd definitely say something! @emeliaday
