For bottles for infants I usually ask them to bring one or two to just leave here, same with a pacifier.

Due to something I wrote that is controversial , I Signed out to hide my identity, but I am a fairly new but regular user.



[x] bottles I will provide but no one has opted for this yet
[] Pacifiers
[x] Sippy cups I don't assign them , because they get washed, and only 1 child uses the same cup all day.
[] regular (assigned) cups
[x] Plates/bowls
[x] Utinsils (forks, spoons, sporks)
[] Infant formula no, because I am a lactavist and i actually advocate for using donor breast milk over formula and will gladly donate my own if ever needed. I had a baby I wet nursed occasionally to give the comfort she needed and donated to her by bottle (until mom got her own donor milk from other donors) because mom wasn't making enough. Her mother asked first and so it was a mutual agreement. Fyi: I don't ever advertise this and would never do this unless asked first&was willing. We just happen to meet first through the LLL group and had very similar strong beliefs about this. She's now on formula and donor milk by bottle. I do allow formula to be brought from home though and currently have an infant who has always been on formula.
[x] Baby cereal/baby food (under a year) . I beleive in baby led weaning/solids (no purees) so I discourage puree foods unless the parent is open to me still teaching the (older) infant how to self feed at the same time. Puree foods are allowed though.
[x] Regular meals/snacks for children over 1 year
[x] Back up clothes (bought by you, donated to your program, or lost n' found)
[x] General medicines (Tyonal, Benedryl, baby ibeprophen... but don't administer without written permission) In my policies it says I do NOT give meds. But I already have these on hand in case of emergency because I have my own kids. However, I'm into more natural approaches and my kids rarely get sick to begin with so any meds I have always end up expiring before they ever get used. I have a strict illness policy . I do keep a first aid kit on hand .
[x] Diapers I have always offered cloth diapers for the early infant stage to help them save since they go through so many in the younger months, and I have a stash my son outgrew. But I've only had 2 clients into cloth, in 4 yrs time.

No, I mostly use G-diapers & their disposable inserts are VERY cheap. I used these for my last son, and now have a stash of 24 covers. I only have 1 in diapers right now, though. I can FLUSH the poop with the liner, so there is zero smell.

I provide everything, I'd rather use one tube of cream and one pack of wipes instead of several. The only thing parents bring is a change of clothing, formula if they don't like mine, and diapers. I also don't charge extra.

A lot of the things as mentioned I keep on hand in case of emergencies or if parents forget to restock...better safet han sorry. And I never tell them I have backup so they don't rely on it.

I'm just wondering what some providers provide for their daycare kids as back ups or in general. I was bored this morning- If you look at some of my other threads I usually just ask random daycare business related question.

I supply everything except for diapers and formula. Its so much easier. This way I don't get diaper bags, dirty bottles, expired food and smelly clothes. I use the same sunscreen on all of them, so this way I know its not expired and its ment for babies, the clothes I have spare, but its rare I have to use them unless they are potty training.

Each child has one of these in an individual colour and I was able to find each colour of cup, plate, bowl and utensils so everything is organised that way.

I have a blanket permission to administer Tylenol prior to calling the parent to pick up if needed and, as such I keep one bottle of chewable here rather than have 5 individual bottles. The same with wipes. I provide because I like a certain brand and I don't want 5 plastic tubs.
