Wow this is a lot of BM talk!!
Personaly I dont do written journals or anything. Most of the kids I have poop at least once a day, but I wouldnt necessarily mention it unless they had not for a couple days in my care. (kids change and they could be pooping at home...)
If I notice a change (diarrhea more than once per day with no fever) then I will mention it. But otherwise, they dont ask, and I dont ask about their BM at home.
At pick up I will mention what we ate that day and how their naps went.
My daycare is pretty structured so everyone always naps from 12-2:30 give or take 20 mins. So it is still a little repetitive after a while.
I think that this is not hard to do, to take out 1 minute while the shoes are going on to say this. It doesnt take much.
I know that if I did notes or whatever, then it would all mostly be the same deal day in, day out.
If I do happen to forget to tell parents something, like he got a boo boo on his knee today or something, then I can always text Mom to pass it on, but this is nothing that cant wait till the next day.
Anyways, just my thoughts on the idea.
May work for some, but not me personally. I am fine with the information flow that I have now with Moms and Dads, and I have not heard anything differently as of lately.
