I totally agree with you there too Nikki - but the centre seems quite happy to use them freely so I just let them do their thing (and if I'm honest I do it more for Leo's comfort than for the environment). I should have really invested in a wet bag, I just never got round to buying one as I'm only ever out and about for max 1 nappy change per day so I just use the smelly blue nappy bags from the supermarket

I agree Nikki, the smell of a poo-filled disposable is soooo much worse than any dirty cloth nappy!

Leo's daycare just wrap his dirty nappies up in a recycled supermarket bag, tie a knot in the top and stuff it in his backpack! They have the plastic bags handy for wet clothes so I don't think it gets much easier than that.

Let me know what they say. If you need a hand I can call up and help ya out. I don't know anyone at the Law school creche but most definitely know the manager of the centres and am much more confident now that I don't have a kiddo in care that I can do a big spiel!!

I just find it really weird as when I was using the toddler creche up at Fairlie Tce, one of the teachers was doing a lot of prof development around the environment and sustainability and was really enthused about modern cloth - but I didn't get any further than that on the issue!]]> Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:36:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=434541&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#434541 <![CDATA[DAYCARE AND CLOTH NAPPIES : My daycare are okay with cloth....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=434258&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#434258 Author: kiwimonkeys

it is Pipitea ECC in Thorndon. I would certainly raise the topic again if I got accepted, but I didn't want to appear to be bolshy when I was just there trying to make a good impression! The question must have been raised before because she had her answer pre-prepared. I'm thinking inhome care might be better for us now.

What centre was that?

Vic Uni are like that. If I were going to use them again then I'd question it.

Can you take it to management? (Along with the nappies to give a demo?)

I think it is downright rude that they can hold you to ransom for things like this. But unfortunately they are able to because of the shortage of places.

I am shocked to hear that a centre would & could say no to accepting a baby in cloth nappies. If it were me I'd definitely question it further & speak to Citizens Advice - surely it would be considered discrimination? I don't see how disposables are any more practical than a MCN??!! Not sure I'd want my child looked after by people that are so close-minded either . . . . but that's just me (and I feel quite strongly about peoples choice).

I use home based care and She has no problem with using MCN's (She even washes the dirty ones for me)
There is one other child there who uses MCN's (cloth) and one that uses them now and then. I really apprechiate (sp??) that she is willing to use them as she could easy turn around and say no and that I would have to bring him in disposible...

I would imagine this will change very soon. There has been new legislation introduced requiring organisations to take more accountability for recycling goods. There are rebates for being green etc. I haven't got the full breakdown, most of what I've heard relates to IT and telecommunications industries but I'm sure waste reduction will come into play some time soon. ]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:17:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=429981&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#429981 <![CDATA[DAYCARE AND CLOTH NAPPIES : At DD1&#039;s creche they had...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=429279&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#429279 Author: Mazzy

At DD1's creche they had no problem with her being in cloth, as far as I can tell she's the only one there in cloth on the days she goes (only two days a week, so don't know about the other days). I think they must have had cloth before though as I didn't have to explain anything.
I don't have to supply anything except the nappies and they come home in a plastic supermarket bag totally rinsed and ready to wash.

Leo's in cloth at daycare, although he's a minority. His teachers were more than happy to use cloth and are very competent (as most have used cloth on their own kids) so I didn't have to give any lessons. They just wrap up dirty nappies into plastic supermarket bags and then they go in his backpack (they'll tip poo into the loo first).

My sister's little boy goes to Childspace in Ngaio (Wellington) where she leaves a set of cloth nappies at the centre - and they'll wash them for her!!

I looked at a few places, one didn't at all but they had one kid who was allergic to disposables but wouldn't make an exception for me. One place said yes and left it at that and they other place said sure but they have never had any kids in cloth so I would have to show them. ]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 21:40:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=429226&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#429226 <![CDATA[DAYCARE AND CLOTH NAPPIES : Maya&#039;s did cloth (she was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=429104&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#429104 Author: Maya

Oliver is going into daycare starting the 11th August. I asked if they would be okay with him in cloth nappies, as we have just started using them. And they said no problem whatsoever. I too have to just provide the nappies and a lidded bucket and we are all good!

Yup Miss M is in cloth at her day care...I think there are only one or two others but they were fine with using cloth.

When we looked at moving branches so she would be closer to me when we thought I was taking another position, the other centre wouldn't use cloth so we left her where she was anyway.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:04:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=428791&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#428791 <![CDATA[DAYCARE AND CLOTH NAPPIES : In Palmy the daycare my boys went...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=428763&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#428763 Author: mummy_becks

In Palmy the daycare my boys went to they didn't. They used the its unhygenic (which is total rubbish as they leave sposies in a rubbish bag in the change room all day), no space. I was kinda glad the boys left.

Now the daycare Josh is about to go to they have no problem using them. They have a couple of children with them already. All I have to do is provide a lidded bucket and the nappies need to be lined with liners.

Daniel isn't in daycare but my best buddy is a 2IC at one in wellys and she said they have 4 bubbas in the under 2s at the mo in modern cloth out of 16 kiddies. That's 1/4 of them which ain't bad!

When I rang around daycares about 2/3rds didn't accept cloth which is a PITA but then I think a couple of them had no clue what modern cloth naps look like.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:45:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=428759&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#428759 <![CDATA[DAYCARE AND CLOTH NAPPIES : Yep Spencer is in cloth at daycare,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=428757&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#428757 Author: cuppatea

Yep Spencer is in cloth at daycare, he is the only one at his centre. They didn't have any problems with it at all, they put the used ones in his wetbag and then in his bag and then I take them home.

One of the ladies in the nursery had never seen them before so on his first day I showed her how they worked as she was on nappy duty that day and that was it, and they must be doing it right cos so far we haven't had a single leak whilst he's been there.]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:44:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=428757&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#428757 <![CDATA[DAYCARE AND CLOTH NAPPIES : Astin is starting daycare in a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=428742&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#428742 Author: BaAsKa

Astin is starting daycare in a week so i asked them today about his nappies (i have heard of other centres not allowing cloth) and they said that over the last 7! years they have only had 1! child in cloth! (and it was the old style - pin ones!)....
So anyway they said its great that im using them and they will certainly use them for him as long as i provide the bucket and they (about 6 teachers gathered around to listen! lol ) are all really excited to see the nappies and have a play which is neat.

SO does your daycare centre allow cloth??? what did they say about using them??

And most of all - do you know how many people in your daycare use cloth??? i was amazed when the teachers said that they are very rarely used!! ]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:34:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18753&PID=428742&title=daycare-and-cloth-nappies#428742
