Question about Oranges

Nurse_Molly

I am a pretty down to earth mom but I was reading I don't know where but not to give your child citrus type fruits until 18months or so?  Anyways, my daughter started in a new day care room today.... I AM VERY upset with them (1)  They tried to feed her oranges and toast (mind you not cut up or anything) and whole milk (Isabelle is still breastfed)  (2) at lunch they gave her 1/2 grapes and some kind of pasta mixture with cooked veggies.  The child is only starting to take a few table foods, her whole meal doesn't consist yet of "regular adult food".   UGH!!  I sent specific instructions and had things all labled and set out for her but then they go and mess them up.  And to boot the aid that helps in the room was so confusing when I tried to see how she was doing in her new room, she got Isabelle and another girl mixed up.. ugh!   I think I need to re-evaluate finding a new daycare!

I think I would too. Considering you gave them specific instructions and they were just annoyed? yup, i would have words.

Oh, and to answer the orange question, i was told 18 months for citrus.it can give them diaper rash.

Ugh, I would be very upset. It's frustrating when you take the time to put specific instructions together and they're blatantly ignored. Well, this is just my opinion, but your daughter will be fine even if she did have a taste of any of it, and do what you feel necessary, even if that is finding a new daycare.
