I started sending my son to daycare a couple weeks ago and have supplied them with diapers but it seems like every time we come home, he is wearing a different brand. I’m not upset because he doesn’t have any allergies I just want to know why? Today he came home wearing a diaper very clearly meant for little girls and in a different size but I don’t know all diaper sizes so 2T might be the same as Size 5 in different brands. I would understand if it was because he is out of diapers but I checked before we had left the center and he still had plenty of his own so why does this happen? Should I bring it up? Has this happened to anyone else? I trust the providers very much and have a very good relationship with them so I don’t suspect any malicious intent behind anything just looking for an explanation before I do or don’t bring it up.

My son is not in daycare. But if he was and this was happening I would bring it up. They need to be mindful of what they are putting on children's bodies. Because it could be a case where maybe he was allergic to certain brands.

Bring it up. It’s their job to pay attention to everything going on in the daycare, the children playing, learning, and all types of interactions. They should have his diapers and clothes on him and no one else’s unless it was an emergency or he ran out. They need to be more attentive. Thank goodness he doesn’t have allergies. Once or twice is a mistake but multiple times means someone doesn’t care to do the correct thing or get better. You can’t be lazy and work with kids and if they are overwhelmed then they need to hire more staff or watch less children. The classes you have to take to get a license to open a daycare or work for one is detailed and again if it only happened a couple of times then okay but if it’s repetitive then point it out and make them be attentive. You might also be helping other children by doing that. Remember you have to advocate for your child. You’re a momma and that’s your baby, don’t worry about coming off wrong, follow your instincts and be protective.

As a daycare/preschool teacher, that is... odd. I don't see anything *alarming* with it aside from them possibly taking from another kid/parent's supply, but they may just be daycare extras that they're trying ro get rid of to make space (my best guess). But it's still odd to me that they didn't ask you first, especially since some kids do have sensitivities or have parents that really care about gender-specific items.
I personally would ask just to make sure there isn't a mix up somehow and that they aren't taking from another kid, but it is just confusing Lol
