    Not sure what you mean by natural body work, unnatural?


    At the end of the day most of my daycare kids get picked up at the same time so I don't have time to disscuss things with parents in great detail.

    Anyway it's important!

    By the way, maybe it was not too clear, but my asking was a bit ironic. I know why parents ask, but I don't understand why they would feel the need to ask.

    I would expect the provider to let me know if she notices a different texture or color in the BM, or an absence of BM for a longer period than usual, as well as I would let her know as a parent. This way, together we can avoid problems. But letting me know everyday that there was a BM, what do I care?

    And why would I want to know that there will be a BM at home? I have diapers, wipes, a nose to smell it when it comes, and if I go out, I will bring everything with me! Wow, that is planning too much to need to know if there might be a BM!

    Anyway, it's just my opinion! I don't really mind if people need to know, I just don't get that they need to know THAT much!

    To me, it's making natural body work, unnatural!

    Sorry, english is not really my first language so sometimes it's hard to say exactly what I mean.

    So what I meant was that a BM is a natural thing, that parents don't need to know about, unless there is a problem with it. I agree with the impotancee of the BM, but only when there is an actual problem. Just requiring this information as part as a daily recap is giving it a "medical" importance. Do you analyze your own BM every time you go? I don't think so!!! You will analyze only if something feels wrong about it.

    Anyway, hope I am clear!

    Sarah,

    Parents do need to know about B.M’s and if they have or haven’t had one! I have stated the importance of this in my previous posts. In regards to myself yes I do take notice of my own B.M's pretty much every time, I really care about overall health!!!

    In response to this crazy discussion the bottom line is (lol) that if we are taking notice then it means we are doing our jobs well! By you saying that if it were unusual then you would tell their parents means your taking notice. This means we care about our daycare kids overall well being and that we are doing a great job.

    Signed,

    Sue a.k.a: Passionate about poop!
