Hi there! My DD (almost 2) has been at nursery for a week - it’s great, she loves it, they seem like lovely people. On Wednesday when I collected her and changed her nappy I noticed cream on her bum - that’s fine, I thought, she must have been sore. The next day she had done a sloppy number two (sorry haha), so had to check her folds for poo, where I noticed white inside. I immediately thought I hope this is cream from nursery that just hadn’t cleaned off properly from the day before or else it could be something like thrush.
The next day I asked nursery if they apply cream do they do it all over including folds, they said yes, but then said they didn’t put cream on my daughter. The other worker in her room said ‘no it wasn’t me or I’d have to ask her key worker what cream is suitable for her as DD’s new’ (that’s sewn a seed of doubt in my head that maybe she did it?).
So then I start panicking that it must be thrush if it wasn’t cream, but I had forgot to tell them the nappy after pick up it looked like cream around her bum and only mentioned her folds the next day.
I really hope they’d just misremembered but I think I would have preferred a ‘can’t remember’ to a definite no.
I think my question is:
Should I question this again on next drop off as there’s been no reoccurring whiteness or just give them the benefit of the doubt.
OR has your toddler ever had white down below just for a day or two and has been fine?
I’m not sure how to even word it other than ‘sorry I forgot to mention she had white on her bum after drop off Wednesday then along with whiteness in her folds Thursday but nothing since, I think it’s cream rather than thrush are you sure you guys didn’t put on cream? I don’t mind, it’d be a relief, rather than thinking she may have thrush’.
honestly I don’t mind them applying cream at all. I wish I didn’t bother asking them. They do have an app which I think they are supposed to log creams, though. It does make me think what if she was allergic and then I get told a no, but then I’d be confused what she had a reaction to.
am I overreacting? 😅 it’s upsetting me as we’ve been there a week and I don’t want to be that kinda mom - but I don’t want them to be that kinda nursery, either!!
