Strange question about diaper wipes....

[Inspired by Reggio]

I am a little bit of both to be honest ... I ask that parents provide wipes for diapering along with the diapers and cream and I keep them in a labelled basket with a change of clothes and so forth in the playroom ... I also keep a couple labelled diapers for each kid and wipe pack that I provide in a basket for on my main floor as well as in the stroller should someone need a change and I do not want to run downstairs or back in the house to get wipes from their 'personal store' ... this also allows me to have wipes handy out and about for wiping faces or noses or hands or bird poop off a climber

I have one of those drawer towers (5 drawers ) each child a their own labeled drawer with wipes, diaper creams, diapers (one weeks worth), and spare clothing. So when I have to change a diaper it's all right there in the drawer. It's all separate and I don't have to worry about mix ups. Since my families bring me diapers and wipes by the case I keep all the extras in a storage room off my daycare.

I have a large supply at the dining room table that I buy for cleaning the children after meals, and for the ones who are too small to wash their hands before eating. But this is a tax writeoff for me.

It depends on how many babies I have in care. If I have 4 or 5 at a time I get all the parents to send a refill package at the same time and I use one communal plastic container and when the refill packs are gone I ask all the parents to send another. Right now I have 3 in diapers and one child uses the natural type wipes and the others use popular brand names so they all have their own containers in my cupboard and it isn't so bad with just 3.

I have a 6 foot cupboard with shelves so it is for toys on the bottom 3 shelves and the top 2 shelves have the diapers, wipes, extra clothing, receipt books and log books for each child.

I too have the parents supply all their own diapers and wipes but I HATE papmers wipes!! they don't wipe well and leave a greasy-gooey feeling afterwards...I love their diapers though.

One parent likes these and it irks me to no end to use them...so I'm tempted to just use my DD's wipes but it's not cost friendly to me to do so..

I do not seperate wipes per child. When I feel it is some ones turn to provide wipes then I request them from the parent next on the list. I am always a couple of packs ahead of running out.

I have 2 kids in diapers and both use the same brand. I rotate days - day 1 we use dcb's wipes, day 2 we use dcg's girls. That way I'm only carrying one package around with me in the diaper bag if we go anywhere and if we're home I only need to have one package on my bathroom counter. I have a large counter that I have a change pad on and every night I take the wipes diapers etc and put them under the sink, then bring out what I need in the morning at first diaper change.

I have one of the 5 drawer towers too that stands beside my change table ( which is an old desk I made a pad for and cover with a small quilt). I only store the diapers in there for each child and they can hold a lot. I printed name cards and taped to the inside of each drawer for easy identification.

My change table is just outside the small bathroom on main floor. We put shelves on the wall above the toilet and I have the change bins on those along with the container of wipes. When it is change time I take their bin, the wipes out to the change table and return them to the bathroom when I wash my hands. The bins are square ice cream pails and have a change mat, diaper cream in them and masking tape name labels on the bins.

To make it look more uniform I have bins higher up on the shelves too that have some of my own things stored such as extra toothpaste bought on sale, a couple spare rolls of toilet paper in one, and when my son was home he had a bin with his contact lens stuff, etc.

I never worried too much about hiding stuff since it is in use all the time anyways. One of the bins belongs to my daughter although she no longer fits on the change table and I use two of those large foam squares on the floor to make a change surface.

I love those five drawer towers and yes got them at CTC when they were half price. I have one beside my desk with each drawer set up for one with daycare notes in one, my felt business in another - basically it allows me to keep a somewhat cleared desk since I can just pop pieces of paper in the drawers related to subject - top drawer is other, lol as in what doesn't belong other places.
