Breakfast?

[PattyCake]

Pattycake, what have you decided to do? I was wondering since we mostly agreed with your husband that you are providing too much food, hehe, sorry to say that the man was right, eeek!

I have decided to eliminate breakie moving forward. I'm in the process of changing my policies and that is definitely one that I'm editing. My earliest get here at 7am so I'm sorta worried about how they are going to take to the changes, but I feel they should be eating at home before they leave, rather than arrive here with empty bellies! Thanks everyone for their input! I guess hubby was right, that's okay though cause that doesn't happen often! Just kidding!! Haha

I addition, my early arrivals who eat breakie now, also drink 6 bottles of homo milk a day between the 2 of them (5 days/week) and I'm spending so much on homo milk every week just for them, so eliminating breakie will help with food costs for sure!

My contract says anything - milk, juice, water in a bottle is supplied by the parent. That eliminates the extra cost there. Once they are using a cup that is supplied by me so the maximum I provide per day is 3 sesrvings of 4-6 ounces and that is it. That is more than they need in the hours they are with me. If they are still thirsty there is water. That will save you even more money. Let them know that you are only responsible for a serving size - 4 oz. If they want the child to have more they can provide it even after they are off the bottle but they should be replacing the liquid with the food you are providing instead. Almost all providers expect parents to provide bottles and infant foods.
