Nursery vs Nappies
I need advice…
On Monday 1st June I dropped my child off at nursery for her first day, with a full pack of 72 size 5 pampers nappies and 3 packs of wipes. On Thursday 11th June they have asked for more nappies; so working full time and navigating life as a working mum I ran to the shops and Friday morning I’ve dropped off a full pack of pampers size 5+. I’m now concerned that my child’s nappies are being used on other kids as she came home today in the size 5+ and it clicked in my brain that I previously provided them with size 5 pampers and surely they haven’t used all of them yet!
For reference, she attends nursery 4 times a week (2 full days and 2 half days). On her handover sheets, it seems she’s only being changed maximum 5 times on full days and 3 times on half days. Surely they haven’t used that many on my child?
Has anyone come across this before and how did you address it?
P.S - I will no longer be providing full packs, however I’m new to this and thought it would make mine and nursery’s life easier to ensure she always had nappies. But I cannot afford to be replacing them like this 😭

I pack enough pampers and wipes for the day in my child's bag, could you possibly try this?
Might be they haven’t rotated the nappies and just put 5+ on top so grabbed that one. I know my LOs nursery empty them into a basket with their name on they also write their names on the nappies.
However I have seen a few videos on how people are going through nappies. I do pack extra she only goes 6 hours over 2 days and they all seem to be gone from her bag what I pack but then I overthink that there’s kids not being packed enough nappies and I don’t mind as I’d rather them use mine than have sore bums 😅 I don’t know what else they’d be doing with them.
To be honest that’s wild. That’s a lot of nappies to be going through. I’m not a very confrontational person, but it costs a hell of a lot to raise a child so I would likely be saying something to them.
I’d just ask. It might be that they have a limit they work to before they ask for more, you provided 5+ second time around, so they will assume that’s what you want to use going forward unless discussed. Maybe also a baby with the same name / same room as they’ve got mixed up? Very annoying but a good opportunity to have an open conversation now x
