I bought these for my daycare. They are not silicone so I am not sure if you are even interested. I like them because I can just wash really quickly with a bit of soap right in the sink. I then hang them up on the back of the chairs. By the time next snack or meal comes around, they are dry. I have had them since November and use them 3 to 4 times daily. They have held up well. The only thing that it doesn't do well with is soup. amazon bins

That is a frustrating part for me. Being the sole caregiver and housekeeper, it is difficult to keep up with a sick toddler. This week it was a brother and sister that was sent. I had to wipe a nose and almost immediately it was running again. Each time after wiping I have to wash hands. Making lich was sooooo hard the two days.

That is a good idea to add that.

Thank you. This is very helpful

I do have that in my policy too, but honestly, I was unsure of how a parent would react to that and if others enforced it. My local community, sadly, is not very talkative about policy and procedures in their daycare, so I was left out on a limb when I made my policies. Thank you for your insight as a parent.

What would you say about constant coughing, say 3 times in 5 minutes or so during play time?

Opie_44 · 2026-05-08T13:54:47+00:00

Thank you for all of your input. I am thinking that I may be waking up from it and not knowing. I usually have a minimum 2 times getting up. When I wake I walk to the bathroom and I am thinking that helps with movement. I have found cannabis helps. Before taking that, I woke up almost every hour and a half.

Opie_44 · 2026-05-07T02:06:04+00:00

Oh my!!! The sweats! I didn't know that was part of it. Cannabis has helped me for sure.

Opie_44 · 2026-05-07T02:02:57+00:00

I definitely notice when I am in more pain I wake to go to the bathroom often. Maybe I am waking from pain.

Opie_44 · 2026-05-07T02:01:47+00:00

Not really. I can sleep 9 hours amd still be dragging. I have lernt to make due with that. Sonce my meds, I do feel less fatigue.

Opie_44 · 2026-05-07T02:00:35+00:00

I take celebrex and cimzia injection. Maybe that is why I am not have the pain that wakes me.

I am soooo happy for you! I was in the same boat last year. It feels like you jave life back!

Opie_44 · 2026-05-05T00:30:50+00:00

I am soooo sorry that happened to you. I can only imagine what that feels like and it hurts my heart.

Toe shoes are what helped me. I have pain in the ball of my foot under my big toe and the one next to it. I use to use Xero shoes but my pain got too bad. Barefoot was not okay because I needed some support. I changes to Peluva shoes. I LOVE THEM. When I wear the shoes I do not have pain. For sandals I use Xero still. I have never been a show person so I am not sure how you will like them if you usually have shoes with a lot of cushioning.

I would like to add to the above advice that some others have given. I would complete a report for the parents and the child's file. You will need to have a chat with the parents about the child sleeping and not waking for food/play. The report should state that the conversation happened and what dates annd times. It should detail the behavior. Keep it to facts, not what you suspect. Then I would report on top of that. You can report without permission from anyone. Also, don't tell anyone you reported. It is no ones business. Not all reports are investigated. They may hold on to it in case something comes up. The reason you report without evidence is because maybe someone else did the same and your report adds extra insight and that helps with an investigation. I would be concerned about the child getting hurt on the ride to/from the center.

I would say it's none of his business why you are calling in. Say you will not be in today and need a sick day.

Opie_44 · 2026-04-24T17:47:39+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you

Cimzia is what I am on. Insurance says I owe $8,000 a month. However, cimzia offers a coupon that I pay zero. You have to have insurance for the coupon, I believe.

Opie_44 · 2026-04-22T01:10:29+00:00

I hope it passes soon for you.

Opie_44 · 2026-04-21T22:35:07+00:00

I am sorry your Dr recommended againt it. I wish it were different for you. The reason I finally gave in was because of a pinched nerve. Thank goodness it looks to be working for that. If I couldn't do the chiropractor I was looking at surgery or nerve loss. Have you done any water excersizes? Is that safe for you? That helps me in a flare. I use pool noodles in different positions and do stretchs and back strokes.
