Daycare isn't wiping my toddler after pooping
I've asked 3 times in the last 2 months to please wipe or supervise her when she goes potty. She still has skid marks at least once a week and tells me her bottom hurts. She won't be 3 until March; she is newly potty trained. She is too young to be wiping her bottom alone; she gets poop on her hands and I'm afraid she's going to get a UTI from this. I try to let her go potty alone but come in to wipe her.
☺️ I just hope they stay up on this. She does try to do a lot by herself, but this is something that no 2.5 yr old can handle independently. But if big brother can do something, she WILL do it, too!
She was wiped well yesterday, and doesn't go on Fridays. I'm going to check her closely every night now...
Ok, I'm glad I'm not overreacting. I'm trying to be patient because she does try to be very independent and I think they believe her that she wiped well. I mean... she tried to wipe at home and got poo all over her hand... she's not capable of wiping herself yet.
Some daycare think that students who wear underwear should be independent and wipe their own butts. I read an article on my news website a while back saying they didn’t wipe butts because they didn’t wanna be charged with anything. They didn’t wanna get near their private parts because you know if a parent ask who touched you, the student will say “so and so” did. At least that’s how it is where I’m from.
I'd definitely say something. My daughter is 3 and still needs help wiping. Fortunately she holds her poop til she gets home but there were a couple times she pooped at school and they wiped her. But she came home with a rash so I'm not sure how well they wiped her. I gave her a bath at home just in case.
I can't imagine why some daycares wouldn't be allowed to wipe. They wipe poopy baby butts when changing diapers so it's the same thing.
No, they can and do wipe children as long as needed. How can a daycare not wipe a 2/3 year old? That's strange. I left a tub of wipes with her main teacher and she's going to keep a close eye on her in the potty.
I would inform the director that this is the 4th time your addressing this issue, and if she is not properly wiped and cared for you will be pressing charges of neglect, and whatever else goes with it...
As your daughter is being left in her filth all day getting rashes and infections because of it...
This will not be overlooked anymore...
They are allowed to/supposed to wipe the kids. It's a major chain, so each one has 2 directors to go to. They take kids from 4 weeks to 6 years, so wiping and potty training are part of the scope of care they provide. I'm frustrated because she's TWO. My son was mostly wiping himself at 5 but still needed occasional help or supervision, like if he had diarrhea. Otherwise, I'm really happy with the care my kids get/got there. My son was potty trained before starting but they wiped him when he needed it. I made sure he was able to wipe independently before he went to kindergarten. I'm going to bring a tub of wipes today and insist she be wiped with them.

My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...

My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️
Sounds like you need a better daycare
