[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you worried the bath is unsafe or what is the concern exactly?

We went thru a phase with my infant where he was having diaper blowouts on the way to daycare. They would put him into the sink (this is in the infant room in the center) to clean him fully and more comfortably. I was often there for a few mins at the start. So, did not bother me in that setup.[/quote]

I use to nanny and had a family where I was not allowed to change the child’s diaper or help with toileting.  Mom was a SAHM and if they needed a change or to use the restroom I was to get her or Grandma to help.

It was really bizarre and made me feel like I had done something wrong when I hadn’t.  Mom was upfront at least and said she had a lot of trauma.  I understand her reasoning but I never understood why she’d hire care providers if she had such deep trust issues.

I wonder if OP is coming from the same place?

I’m a mom now and my kiddo is always with us so I get the fear for sure.  What I still don’t get is having that fear (whether it’s legitimate or due to your own baggage) and having someone care for them you clearly don’t trust.

It just feels inappropriate for a care provider to bathe a child.  They aren’t a parent. [/quote]

Is this OP?

FYI a lot of nannies at the parents' direction, depending on their schedule. Not saying it's the same as this daycare situation but not sure I agree on the parent vs care giver thing here.[/quote][/quote]
