About nappies in nursery?

[Digitalash]

I send my DD to nursery with 6 nappies a day just in case. They have been changing her twice a day (more if she needs it but she hasnt the last few weeks) and she has been coming home with no nappies.

WIBU to ask nursery where the rest of her nappies keep going or is that trivial? Im a single mum on a really tight budget and they arr losing/keeping/using on anoher child twoce as many as they are on my DD.

If IANBU then what should i say? I really struggle to find a middle ground between timid mouse and all guns blazing and obviously dont want to cause any issues for DD.

This isnt every day but the last 6 days she been in its happened 5 of them so i feel its happening more and more.

Ask them so send Home any unused nappies.

Just send her in with 3 nappies?

Tell them to leave unused ones in her bag. You can’t afford to be their emergency nappy provider. If you don’t want to say it put a note in her bag.

I'd ask them. Surely they're changing her more than twice in a whole day?!
My ds is only in nursery a couple of mornings, they change him at 9.30 & 12.30. I assume if he was in a whole day they'd change him twice in the afternoon too.

I would ask that they send back the unused nappies at the end of each day. I supplied nappies when DS2 was in nursery as the ones they used gave him a rash. I started off sending a couple of week's supply at a time until it became clear they were using them on other children. In the end I had to send in what he needed each day and ask them to return the unused ones as it was costing me a fortune!

My DC’s nursery had a basket for each child and parents sent in a pack of nappies, wipes etc and then nursery just let us know when stocks were low. Which I realise doesn’t help you, but the thought that your nappies are being used elsewhere every time your DD is at nursery is making me have rage on your behalf! And I’m a v laid back person who never really gets worked up about things. Definitely say something.

Unfortunately many parents dont provide nappies for their dc at nursery. So i assume this is where yours are going. However its not on. Id speak to management tbh. They should have nursery spares for anyone who comes without and imo should add cost of these on to that parents bill

Glad to know its a thing and not just me and that im not silly for being cross about it! I think i will try that approach and ask for unused ones to be sent home. Thanks everyone 🙂

Definately bring this up. It's not your job to be subsidising other people's nappies! They'll let you know how many changes have taken place, you need to ask where your other nappies have gone! Hate to say some parents will take the Mick too by not sending enough and saving themselves money...because they're being given yours! Be firm OP, you want them back.
