It's actually really unfair to expect your caregiver to be at least a little bit on board as there is NO such thing as at least a little bit liable....kwim?
Imagine if a child did choke and die ....I highly doubt the DHS and/or the law would be accepting of a provider claiming the parent expected her to be at least a little bit on board with it so it's only a little bit the provider's fault.
MY watch, MY responsibility. PERIOD.
Exactly, thank you. When the mother has said twice now that she's had to take pieces and they weren't small scrapings of carrot out of his mouth, that scares me about choking. I've had to basically save a child from choking here and it's not something you forget. Besides the fact that she's not feeding him the carrot, so it's really not a eating type of situation (BLW). My own opinion is I just don't see how it's safe when he has 2 upper and 2 lower front teeth that he can easily bite a piece off and choke. There are many other ways to satisfy a teething baby. Maybe I'm totally wrong. But, like you BC, not on my watch.
