I noticed a posting on a parent taking away a bottle at dc but not a home.

Here are my rules...period. Everyone gets this in the handbook and I tell them in person during the tour....

at 1 year of age in my childcare program there are NO BINKIES AND NO BOTTLES.................period. (unless medically necessary of course)
This is a rule I have had for years and everyone follows it.

I have parents bring their child with a binkie but they know before they come into my home to put it thier pocket. Even the kiddos sometimes come in and hand them to me to give to mom...LOL! They know my rule and it makes mom and dads job easier when they (parents) get up the courage to do it as well...LOL!

We also start our kiddos at the table at 18 months with regular cups..no sippys. Yes we have a lot of spills the first week but after that its great!!
