I go to a baby and toddler group with DS for a couple of hours in the afternoon once a week. There is a lady who takes her DGC who are 3 and 10 months. The other day she said the youngest had been sick that morning at his other nanas house (the other nana has them in the morning and this lady has them in the afternoons). He has a bottle of formula whilst at this group, Nana heated up the bottle and said "I've only put half the powder in just in case", I was , I didn't think you were supposed to do that.
He also 90% of the time poos in his nappy about 1/2 hour after arriving and she NEVER changes him, despite other people saying "oh he's smelly, I think he's had a poo". Bearing in mind he spends another hour and a half at the group and she has to travel back home, does anyone else think that is just awful?
I know, I know it's none of my business but I feel sorry for the little boy, he is so lovely and it makes me feel a bit . AIBU?

The child must have permenant nappy rash if it is being left in a dirty nappy regularly...

I had a friend who used to leave her DD in dirty nappies all the time, she said she didn't like changing them because they made her feel sick so she'd wait till she got home so her Mum could do them for her!!!! When ever she was at mine I'd change the babies nappy for her, she had such a red bum

I agree with others that offering her nappies/wipes might prompt her into doing something! Also agree that a sick child shouldn't be a toddlers!
