Daycare Bag?

Question

Hey ladies! I'm trying to stay ahead of the game and get ready for my daughter to begin daycare this fall...problem is I don't even know where to start! What size bag should I plan on sending her with? Things I should consider bringing? Labels? My mind is spinning with planning and organization ideas! She'll be about a year when she begins, and I already know we'll be leaving diapers, wipes, ointment and a change of clothes there. Any advice is greatly appreciated:)! Thanks!!

Answer

Mine provided me a list of what they needed in the first infant room.  A week before he moves to the next level room they tell me what if anything else he needs.  He has a backpack that goes with him but now at a year old it basically doesn't hold anything on a daily basis.  At first though it had daily bottles bc I took the dirty ones home each night to wash.

Answer

Most of the time, the day care will be very specific about what to bring. I worked at a day care once that would only allow certain bags. I would spend that time and energy on more clothes or something fun 😜

Answer

You want like 4 sets of clothes not 1. If baby goes into the 1 year old room typically you need a sippy cup. Make sure your daycare foods that your child will eat.

Answer

It depends on what all the daycare you've chosen provides. When my kids went to childcare I just sent their diaper bag with the things they would need. And they usually put it all in a little cubby. And let me know when they would need diapers, wipes, bibs, or change of clothes. So I wasn't taking a full bag everyday. I would just take bottles(already made)/cups(they would keep and wash). They provided snacks, juice, water, and three meals.
