    Ah yes I totally understand!

    Yesterday DD has a rash on her bum, and I had cream in her bag, didn't put it out as she didn't have the rash in the morning and they put zinc all over her bum in the afternoon so I have 2 MCN's all zinc'd up what ****ed me off mroe is they don't know if a child can even use another cream, to jsut grab someone else's a ut on the bum, ****ed me off and the fact that they didn't check the bag first JIC

    I am going through the process to try and stop them banning MCN's at my daycare

    We have finally got the "poo" situation sorted, most of the girls tip out the one's they can and fold them up, I have showed there time and time again to snap them closed then put in the plastic bag as when they stuff them in, aurghhhh the mess is not fun to clean up and there is literally poo everywhere, but in saying that we haven't had that happen for a couple of weeks now.

    The is one carer who is NOT a fan at all of MCN's and she has made it pretty clear to me a few times, that is fine, but it isn't your decision, and if you listen to me then it is no more difficult then cloth nappies.

    The only thing I can think of is to write up an information sheet and pop it in a plastic sleeve or laminate it, and put it with his nappies, and show each of the carers when you go in during the morning. Explain how they are to be used, when to use the disposibles/zinc, only in "x" situation. And make it bold that zinc is NOT to be used with the MCN's.

    I hope you can sort them out and continue with the fluffy bum way

    Yeah I was thinking of the info sheet too.... but they just seem to need an infinite amount of detail which I surely can't put on an info sheet - because they won't read it all!!

    Also I need some time to spare to do it which is annoying me, because it is so flat out at work at the moment especially with me finishing up in a few weeks! *sigh* I will try and get it done today or tomorrow in time for my meeting with them on Friday.

    I provided some nappy sacks (2 or 3) pegged to the wetbag for putting pooey nappies into before putting in the wetbag.

    And I did a short, to-the-point list of instructions that they stuck to the nappy change wall for anyone who was changing nappies to refer to. Basically: for wet, do this, for pooey do that, don't use any creams I don't provide, don't rinse, soak etc., do up as you would a disposable.

    No-one had any issues with understanding, just some comments that it was easier than expected.
