My childcare caters for the children, and if a child is allergic they do not ever cook anything that contains those allergies, it is not bought into the daycare. If you need to take food in for some reason, you have to ring ahead and check, and if it contains those ingredients, then again no your not allowed to bring it in. My daughter knocked her front tooth out and had to have soft, cold foods for 24hrs, I rang and asked if I could bring frozen yoghurt in, and they told me no, I pay my fees every week, which includes meals and snacks, and they went to the shop and bought her all the foods she could eat including her frozen yoghurt:) Even at my son`s school, it is the same rules, they have made it a nut free school....but for kids that are allergic to braed or eggs or other foods that is hard to control, then those children eat in the office away from the other children.

My child care provider has the children bring their own lunch. Healthy snacks are provided. My kids eat dinner at the daycare too because im a single mom working so hard. Luckily they dont have allergies.

When i worked at a daycare (it was a smaller one) they had a list in the kitchen with the childs name/age and allergy. Depending what the allergy was the cook would just have to adjust the childs meal accordingly. I watch a little girl in my home now who is very allergic to egg. Her mother packs her lunch and brings it here just for the `what if` factor, she has always said if anything were to happen she rather it be on her than me. She still eats some snacks here with my daughter i just always read the ingredients and make sure my daughter or myself is never eating anything with egg that could fall and she would pick up and eat it.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
