Put food coloring in his milk. Make one bottle red and one blue and if he poops purple you'll know. LMBO You know I am soooooo kidding. Just thought it was funny.

I've watched them feed him. He takes the whole bottle no problem..I think part of what the problem is is he was EBF and he wants to keep sucking after he's done eating and he can't really do that with a bottle. I guess I need to tell them to feed him what I send and then pop the paci in his mouth after bottles.

"nuks" (in my house) + daycare = instant thrush

I was half glad Anya wouldn't take one, but she sucks her thumb instead.

I wonder why? At Nolan's daycare pacifiers aren't allowed "on the floor" meaning if he is playing/around the other children his paci goes in his cubby hole. So no other babies put his paci in their mouths.

ah. at Anya's they would all have them and grab them from each other's mouths and trade and drop them and find new ones. and wouldn't you know, they would all get thrush.

Sounds like an irresponsible place..

The daycare Nolan goes to is actually pretty nice..it's the college daycare and it's only offered to faculty/students..and it's part of the child development/education/childcare program so the people watching Nolan are actually students being supervised by teachers..so they do their best with the kids and treat them really well because their degrees depend on it! LOL I love it there and they all love Nolan and tell me when I come to get him "I got to hold Nolan today..he's so sweet!" I just think they want to make him fat, lol.

It was voted "Local Best" and sure wasn't cheap.

But yeah, I only lasted I think 3-4 months working outside the home, and only that long because I couldn't afford to both quit and pay out the day care contract.
I think because it was rated so good, they ended up with too many babies and couldn't handle them all.

If the college doesn't have to pay too much staff because it's mostly students, they probably can afford to have a much lower child/teacher ratio. In South Dakota it was 5:1. How the heck do you care for 5 babies at once??

It's 5:2 at our daycare in the infant room..not sure about the other ratios though. All the babies are surprisingly laid back in Nolan's room though. And the room is completely baby proof so there isn't much they can get into on the ground.
