Daycare question-Sunblock

TexasAgMel

Do you have to provide a doctor's note for daycare to apply sunblock to LO? I bought him the Neutrogena baby brand last year, and now they are saying he needs a note.

I believe the regulations for "OTC" meds have changed this year and a note is required. 

Last year, I could okay them to give occasional tylenol for fever or pepto for an upset tummy...(to help until I could get there to pick her up) This year they had to have a doctor's note for both of them if we wanted to allow it, the school nurse said it had to do with guidelines being changed.

not for sunblock, but we have to provide it and sign a form. we have to do the same thing for diaper rash cream.

No, we don't have to provide a doctor's note or sign anything giving permission for them to apply it.

No, we don't need a note from the doctor. I have not filled out a form for it either. We are required to supply it though. Same thing with diaper cream - I think that supplying it implies consent. Oh, and bug spray follows the same guidelines too.

We have to supply sunblock and bug spray and sign a form giving permission to apply it.

How do you stay abreast of all of the changes?
