One wipes pack per week at daycare normal?

Hey mamas! My daycare's been asking us for a new wipes every week. We use the pampers one with 56 wipes in it. Is it normal for it to run out in a week's time? My LO stays 8-4 there and poops twice a day. Thanks.

That's avg 11 wipes a day (assumin ur lo is only there mon-fri)
If he's poops twice a day... Wiping poops I know can be a 3-4wipes situation sometimes.... (so that 6-8 wipes just for poops) so leaving abt 3-5 wipes left for pee diapers and depending if they're using wipes for anythin else like wiping his face etc

It does sound like they're Goin thru alot... But if u break it down like that, it could be possible!?

That does sound like alot to me. Having to bring pack every week. Are they using it on other kids? One time one of of the care giving changed my daughter poopie diaper when we've picked her up. I've watched her used like 3 wipes.

I run daycare and can tell you I only use about 1 pack per biweekly but as one person mentioned maybe they are wiping face and hands too

I had raised it to them before, and they said that sometimes my LO's poop is runny so they end up using more. But I know it's not regularly runny. We use like 2-3 wipes at home for a poop change. Yea I'm guessing they're using it for face and hands too and also being really liberal about the usage 🙄. I guess no point asking again, my partner thinks if we keep asking they'll think we're micromanaging them and this is better than them not cleaning properly 😅

Lol true maybe you can buy a separate one just for hands? Or, what if you make wet diy towels and pack them in a zip lock and ask for those to be used on hands and face? And keep the wipes just for bum? As a last try

I like the idea, I'll try this! Thanks

Mmm what exactly are they wiping for 1 child.the child is not even spending 10hrs😯. Is your child allergic to Huggies brand? In Costco seems cheaper and get more.
