Any babywearing, cloth diaper friendly providers?

[Marie999]

Never, ever ask a daycare provider to do what you do at home. Daycares are businesses and as such, are accountable to all the parents in care, not just you. If you want your child in cloth diapers, be prepared to get it all back, poop and all. If you want your child worn, hire a nanny. If you were an admin assistant, would you pick up your bosses cleaning, get his coffee and buy his wife's birthday present? No, you wouldn't. You can't expect a woman caring for 5 children to be able to safely care for 4 other children while wearing your baby. If the caregiver injures her back wearing your baby and caring for the other children, you and the other parents are on the hook for her sick time and you may find yourself looking for new daycare because the other parents resent you and want you gone.

I would never ask a daycare provider to wear my baby. I was only wondering if anyone was out there that did babywear as a general practice, by their own choice, not because of a parent's request. I would never expect a provider with multiple kids to do what I do at home, nor was I trying to suggest that daycare providers should practice attached parenting. I baby wear, but I don't co-sleep and I believe in letting a child CIO. I babywear because it's easy for me, I get more done and I don't find it strains my body. Plus both my child and I enjoy the closeness. I thought maybe some providers might find it a helpful practice to carry their younger/lighter children at times, but if it would make life harder than of course I wouldn't expect anyone to do it for my child or anyone elses. I never meant to somewhow imply by my query that I expect a daycare provider to wear my child or act like my nanny, I only wanted to hear if it was a common practice or not in daycare. I think your post is a little harsh, all things considered, but I understand that you may find some parents and their requests frustrating and may have misunderstood my post. I was mearly inquiring out of curiousity, as I find babywearing makes life easier, not suggesting that daycare providers should babywear. I would also expect that if a provider was to accept cloth diapers that I would do the work of cleaning them, I just wanted to know if they were accepted, period, not if someone would wash them for me!
