21 month Old about to enter daycare and I need some advice!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am about to send my 21 month old to a daycare because I am about to have a

baby in less

than a week, and I am filling out her application. I have gotten to the part

where they ask if

she has any medication allergies, and so far I put, Amoxicillin, Tylenol, and

Motrin, because

if anything ever happens to her I don't want the hospital giving her these

poisons. Does

anyone else have any other suggestions? I've also put down that she is allergic

to pasteurized

milk, but I can't say anything about the food because this daycare is not WAP

friendly and not

organic. Any other wise suggestions from you would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

tetanus vaccine (that would be the only one they would give in an ER

in an emergency.

Put " amoxicilin and other antibiotics "

I think you've covered the basics - but I will think on it.

Hi, nna. IIs she really allergic to Motrin, Tylenol, etc. or do you just

not want them to give it to her? Doesn't a doctor have to sign that these are

allergies?

You know, any school my kids have gone to are not allowed to give any meds

unless it is authorized in writing by you and a doctor. So, unless you give

permission, they are not allowed to give them.

I just put the true allergies that I know of, and then where it says the

authorize them to do whatever in an emergency I put " except NO VACCINES are to

be given, not even tetanus. " You can add " or any antibiotics.... " whatever you

want. You'll be there in a flash as soon as they notify you anyway.

As far as milk goes, they probably won't understand about pasteurized milk. Why

not just put allergic to dairy (and artifical food dyes while you're at it) and

avoid that whole scenario?

Good luck!

I think this is another thing that varies by state. For instance,

when I was in NM, I looked into putting my son in daycare once in

awhile just to be able to clean my house. LOL I wanted to make sure

he wasn't given cow's milk, so I asked if I could send rice milk for

him to drink. They stated that under the state funding they received,

they were required to give every child cow's milk (of course, not raw)

unless there was a doctor's note in the file stating the child was

allergic. I then asked if I could send breastmilk that they could

give in lieu of the cow's milk... same response (!!!). So, I didn't

put him in daycare there.

Here in Colorado, on the other hand, I was asked to fill out a form at

first visit and on the form it asks for allergies. I listed

antibiotics, cow's milk and strawberries (a sensitivity he has now

outgrown). They just took my word for it and when I take him in, they

put an orange wristband on him that lists his allergies. If I send

food or drink for him, that's what they give him; I don't have to

worry about him getting the crap food they serve there. The only

doctor signature they required was a statement that he was in good

general health and able to run and play normally on their play

equipment (which my chiro filled out for me, and they gladly

accepted).

I really am fortunate to be able to keep more control over my child's

care here in CO than most other states. It could be improved on

still, but I wish all states were at least as easy as CO.

Required to give cow's milk?? Good grief. Sounds as if they made that up.

I know, I was FLOORED! I lived pretty remote, so there was only one

daycare option available to me. I didn't bother to check into other

state funded programs to see if it was consistent. I sure hope not.

Where do you live? I am in Chicago and KC has only had one vac (mumps) since he

was six

months old, and he is 21 months now. His daycare has no problem with it. They

asked

for a medical form, but didn't question the vaccine status at all. Same with the

previous

daycare. They are aware that my son has a catastrophic form of epilepsy which

is a result

of a vaccine reaction. I was suprised to read your post about getting so much

trouble

from your day care!
