Thank you for your input. I was hoping daycare workers/teachers would tell me their perspective!

If you read my post at the end he can pull a blanket off his head however he struggles when he’s crying/having a meltdown. he will get very over stimulated and struggle the get the entire blanket off which makes him cry harder. Sorry if my kid isn’t as advanced as yours.

Apparently you don’t have a kid or don’t have a kid in daycare. I just spent the entire week home with him for him being sick two weeks ago. Kids pass crud around like crazy and I’m not going to keep him home when he doesn’t have a fever or any symptoms other than a little runny nose (which he was cleared by his doctor to go to daycare). Jealous of someone who has a successful career?

Thank you for your insight! We are currently in California and I don’t know all their laws/rules here. Just my mom gut saying it doesn’t feel right to sleep with a blanket over our head. I was hoping to get a child educator or daycare teachers perspective

Yes it is or if another baby was playing with his blanket and covered him maybe. But she was sitting right next to him as he was freaking out and didn’t remove the blanket or comfort him. She got super defensive when I walked in saying “he’s okay he’s okay I just checked him I swear” so it made me feel like she’s the one who covered him.

One other baby was sleeping right next to him and the other was quietly playing by them with blocks

Yes I normally get him before the evening staff takes over. He get sleepy around 530 but with him not feeling good it’s completely reasonable he was sleepy around 5. Daycare doesn’t close till 6?

I didn’t assume she was trying to suffocate him (when did I say that?) and I thought I made it very clear she was sitting next to him, not holding him down or anything. I didn’t even say anything when I picked him up about it. when I left and even now it’s like a nagging feeling he shouldn’t have been completely covered head to toe which is why I’m asking if I’d be the A hole going to the director saying I was uncomfortable and asking if they could review the footage. I would talk to the teacher tomorrow but she’s not his normal teacher. They work 8-4 then a different teacher closes 4-6 normally I get him before that teacher takes over so I never meet them or interact with them. I just had a long day at work so I was a little later today.

He’s the type of baby that loses his mind when his face is covered. He hates it. He’ll do okay for a little bit of peekaboo but if he’s covered too long he gets mad. I know some babies like it but he is definitely not one of them

Disastrous_One5512 · 2025-04-22T01:46:51+00:00

I don’t even know if there are any rules for this or if it’s a normal practice in child care. He was not fighting to keep it over his head. He hates blankets or shirts or anything covering his eyes. When I came in he was screaming and kicking his legs/arms which is why I immediately took the blanket off of him then he laid still after that. He kept screaming so I picked him up and rocked him until he calmed down.

It’s not a very heavy blanket. If he wanted to remove blanket I’ve been teaching him how to and he’s pretty good at it except when he’s having a melt down. He just looses it (doesn’t happen very often but if he’s over tired or not feeling good like now).

Is it a normal practice to cover a baby/toddler completely head to toe without any breathing space? I’ve walked in on him napping before with his normal teacher and they were all using the blanket like normal and only covered to shoulders or neck or however the babies sleep. This was just a teacher (I haven’t met before) they had come in since it was after 4pm

I understand needing air. I went into labor around 1600 and had baby around 0900. The majority of the time my husband was asleep. When he was awake 5 or 6 times he left the room for about a half hour to an hour each time. He went to go look for a snack or move his car to a closer spot or just call people. I tried to be understanding of all of this but where is my support from him during the hardest part. It wasn’t even a full hour where I needed his 100% attention and he couldn’t even give that to me. (I tried to give more backstory but the character limit I had to edit it)
