Nursery didn't change baby's nappy in 5.5 hours

I went to pick up my daughter earlier today than I normally would, about three hours earlier because we had an appointment. I noticed her nappy felt full, so I changed her at the first opportunity. She was still wearing the nappy we put her in in the morning. Her book, where they log food, nappies and activities says they changed her once, but they obviously haven't. She's been sick a lot recently and off her food some days, so I keep a close eye on her nappies at the moment to catch any potential dehydration early. I'm always glad to see they changed her nappy four times and they were all wet. But now I just don't know if I can rely on what they write in her book at all anymore. It always says they changed her nappy four times and always wet (sometimes poo). Is this normal or did I catch them in a lie? Not sure if I should confront them

Absolutely confront them if she was still in the same nappy you sent her in!

That is not normal at all. I work in a nursery and we change children every 2-3 hours obviously earlier if they have pooped or nappy is overly full. Only time I don’t change a nappy is if it’s bone dry and I will always mark it on the nappy chart that it was dry but I’ll check the child 30 minutes to an hour after the dry nappy just incase they’ve had a wee and change them into a fresh one.

But 5.5 hours is far too long to leave a child in a wet nappy as it can cause sores and nappy rashes which is just pure laziness and unnecessary. Bring it up with the room leader, key worker or the manager x

Id be speaking to them

Im sure standard policy in nurseries is 4 hours maximum between nappy changes.

Definitely mention it to them as that not fair on your little girl.

Speak to the manager because whoever is working in ur child room all most be lazy and careless… its so not fair to ur little one …

How did you know it was the same nappy?

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
