Mom Rant!
We had an issues with our daycare yesterday and both my husband and I have decided not to talk to them about it unless it happens again but I’m still steaming about it so I need to vent!
We love our daycare. They have wonderful staff, they make all of their meals fresh for every kid, Carson absolutely loves it, and it is affordable. We don’t plan on switching daycares but yesterday they really messed up.
Now rant! Carson went in at 7 am, as always I had a bottle ready for him as soon as I dropped him off so that they didn’t didn’t have to worry about it. When I went to pick him up at 5pm i grabbed his sheet and when I got out to the car I noticed they only gave him ONE bottle the entire TEN hours he was there! He had his bottle at 7 and they waited until 3 pm to give him another. What! In the meantime he had two “meals” of puffs. Like what? Puffs are not a meal they are a sugary snack! We let him have them at home but only like 5/6 a day to help with chewing. On top of that he only had one actual meal of peas. Like what the hell happened! He definitely needed more than one bottle in that timeframe!
My husband and I talked and since nothing like this has ever happened we are just going to keep the sheet and if it happens again bring it up to staff. Maybe it was a fluke or maybe they were super busy but this momma is mad!
I know they didn’t just forget the sheet because he went home with a clean bottle. I was hoping that was the case so I checked ☹️
You should definitely say something. If it was concerning enough for you post on social media then it means it needs to be addressed. I would have a complete fucking meltdown if I saw my baby was left hungry. Exactly why I’m so thankful my mother in law watches my daughter when I need her too and will my son as well. For your own peace of mind please confront them Monday.
You should say something. I investigated that my daughter's teacher's hadn't used her wipes and they lied about it. She had hives that day. I told them 3 times to make sure she's on her wipes and I left a note on tadpoles. Now they are scared as shit. 🤣😂
I also agree you should say something. Something as simple as “I was looking at the sheet and noticed this. If this is accurate, I would prefer him to have more bottles than this during the day as he does on a normal basis at home and typically does here as well. Breastmilk or formula is the primary nutrition for little ones until they are 1.”
Agreed that you should bring it up now. Just bring in the sheet and say that you noticed it looks like he didn't get much for meals on Friday and give them a chance to look into it. Could just be a mistake and he ate fine as usual. But if you don't bring it up now, and wait for it to happen again they won't be able to look into this incident very effectively 5 months from now.
Aren’t you fortunate 🙄 Not everyone has that option. Your comment isn’t helpful for OP.
I think you still need to talk to them and let them know what happened. They need to know so they can correct it.
I would calmly say something, if they truly forgot to give him a bottle in that time frame, that's not okay. If they forgot to mark the sheet, they need a better process. The staff may need educated or something.
I would say something. 10 hours? That’s a long time. And they probably just got really busy and forgot to mark the sheet but I wouldn’t wait for the next time. I would say something now so that there won’t be a next time. Heck if you wait, the next time may be 10 hours of no food or no changing his diaper....
