Arg. Daycare used Desitin on CDs.

Daycare used Desitin on Eli's diaper rash b/c I hadn't sent rash cream and she "didn't want him to go without."  He breaks out with random rashes all the time, to the point where I don't even worry unless I've seen the same thing for two or three diaper changes.

Well, he's still red, and now I have to wash Desitin out of the diapers.  How the heck do I do that?

Frustrated, especially because they also forgot (maybe, they don't know) to give him his BREATHING TREATMENT at noon.  We're treating for RSV, for crying out loud.  Please make note of whether you give him his medicine or not!

Oy.  Up until today it's been all good things with daycare!

Thanks for letting me vent.

    Good grief!

    At our DCP, we have to provide rash cream and a signed note.  If we run out or something, they call to ask me if they can use another kind.  I'd be livid about the breathing treatment though.

    We have used Desitin Creamy (from samples) randomly with out BG pockets and no harm was done.  Was it the Desitin Ointment or the creamy?  Maybe you can tell if you sniff it and it smells like fish, not sure.  Here's a list of approved diaper creams.  I found that daycares love slathering on diaper cream and you can't really stop them, so you might as well give them an aproved one so you don't have to worry about it.  And DEFINITELY get on their case about his breathing treatments.  That's really important, so stick to your guns.

    It was the Desitin Original ointment.  And believe me, I'm still pissed about the breathing treatment.  I gave him a treatment when we got home, and he seems to be doing fine, so I'm trying to calm down a bit about it.

    A little Dawn and they will be fine.

    That's annoying and the second is irresponsible!

    i can't believe they put a cream on him that you didn't approve in writing. we could NEVER do that at the center i worked at - we would have gotten written up!

    Using a cream you haven't okayed is asking for trouble. (LO could have a reaction from the cream.) I am astounded they did that!

    And forgetting a breathing treatment (or giving it and not making a note) is unacceptable! This is something I would not be able to let go! I might make them call/text me the next few times, just so I'd know it was being done!

    I used to work at a daycare. You need to speak to the director about both issues- those are HUGE mistakes on the part of LO's teachers. The cream could have caused a serious allergic reaction, and they should not be putting anything on him that you didn't approve. And skipping his medication is not ok.

    Hope you get the Desitin out!
