Diapers at day care
Sep. 1st, 2008 09:47 pmCalled the new day care to firm up some things since Punk starts there tomorrow morning. Found out that as I suspected, the new day care provides food. Score! That will save some time in the mornings since we won't have to pack lunch or snacks. (Oops, forgot to ask about breakfast.) However, the new day care will not take cloth diapers. Argh!
When I asked, she told me that cloth diapers are illegal in day care because they are "not sanitary". Which is completely and totally not true. I told her this. Told her that both home child cares AND center-based child cares in the area are taking cloth diapers, but have different policies about them (like the previously-mentioned poop issue); that it seems to be a provider issue. She still said she would not take them, but would "check into it."
Bollocks. I don't want to add freaking disgusting disposable diapers to our budget at all. Let alone use them.
Somehow cloth diapers are not sanitary, but throwing human waste into landfills is?
