XP from 6-12 -> Daycare and Cloth Diapers?

CanadianBio

The daycare I want to eventually put DS into tells me that they won't do CDs. They state it is due to health regulations, but I am going to look into that.

If your DCP - other than a homecare - accommodates CDs, how do they do it? What did you have to provide for them? What did they provide? I want to get some ideas so that I can write up a proposal and petition the director once he has started there.

 There aren't many choices for infant care in our city, and I really think this DCP is the best, other than the non-cloth diaper stance.

TIA.

I never asked over the phone - only in person.  Take the CDs to show them how easy they are.  I take pocket or AIO CDs in a clean wetbag daily and bring it all home at the end of the day.  They hang the wetbag on a hook by the changing station. I have enough diapers/wetbags for 3 days so at the end of the 3rd day I do laundry.  

GL!

Our center takes any CDs but prefer pockets/AIOs. All they want is enough diapers for the day and a bag for the dirty ones. We provide disposable wipes. I hope they agree to take CDs, maybe show them an AIO - if they haven't seen one, they may be pleasantly surprised how easy they are to use. GL!

Ditto pp about showing how easy CDs can be (and look up the health regulations because often that's complete bunk that they try to scare people away with).  Our daycare refuses to use wetbags and requires that we provide plastic bags so that each dirty CD can be individually bagged so I send the same plastic bags back and forth everyday.

We have to provide a locking pail and liners.  They will only take AIO or pockets.  They will not use cloth wipes.  They are very open to it but most in my area are not.  We are still waiting to get in so I'm not sure how it will work on a day to day basis but it sounds good

My former daycare center wouldn't shake solids.  They just closed the diaper and placed it in our zippered wet bag.

Our dcp was unaware that the state allows cd.  They thought they were not allowed.  Once I showed them the state guidelines they took them, but they would only take them when ds was in a room w/ a bathroom in it.  They needed a place to disposed of solid material and can't always leave the room to do so.  That meant we had to use sposies while in the infant room (up to 1yo).  It was better than nothing though.  We used Tushies while he was in that room b/c they're sap free and the closest sposie I could find to cloth.

We brought in a CD to show her teacher in the room and when we got her on board we talked to management.  According to our state regulations we had to provide them with a securely covered receptical for the diapers and they don't mess with poop at all it's all up to us.
