Difrax USA: Pacifier System

*Disclaimer - I received a pacifier system from Difrax USA in order to facilitate this review for my readers. A portion of the information in this post was given to me from the company.

Difrax Stylish Pacifier System That Grows With Your Baby From The Netherlands:


Information from the company:
The trendy, fun, innovative pacifier system designed for every stage of your baby/child's development.  One size does not fit all.  The classic style offers a round nipple that most resembles the breast, so it feels more like mommy while the orthodontic style stimulates the development of the palate and the muscles of the jaw and mouth.  Each collection comes in newborn to 6 month, 6+ month and 18+ month styles that are specifically designed with different features and benefits unique to the needs of that baby's age .  The 18 month pacifier is even designed to wean baby off.  In addition, the unique butterfly shape, the result of years of research and development, allows for extra air circulation, reducing the risk of skin irritation and keeping the nose free. You'll love all the fun colors and patterns available too! 
Difrax USA is the go to company for your pacifier needs!

My review of the pacifiers:
My former boss at the daycare center I was working at before we moved has a young baby, so I gave her 1 set of the pacifiers and they work good for his small mouth. They are made to fit a little baby's mouth size perfectly and not be too big of porportion for them to hold in their mouths. 

My former co-worker who is due in June I gave the other set of pacifiers to, so I will not know her thoughts on the pink pacifiers until she has had the chance to be able to test them out for her daughter.

Last week at work, moving, changing schools

I gave them a 3 week notice, and am sad to leave the daycare, because I became very close with one particular baby in our room, but my husband, kids and I are moving back to where he is from to help with his parents as they are not doing well health wise. I will be staying in touch with the little boy's mom and hope to see him when we come to visit, whether it's by going to the daycare or meeting them somewhere. I am having dinner with some of my good co-workers tomorrow at 6:30pm at K & W to be able to have some socializing before I go.

What to pack in your baby's bag for daycare

I work in a daycare facility in the infant room, so I thought I'd make a blog post for my readers regarding what you should pack for your baby to go to daycare with them, if you have your child in a one while you work. 
What items should you pack for your infant to go to daycare?

1. Diapers - In our infant room, we ask the parents to provide us with 1 pack of diapers for us to have for the child through the week and we let them know once the number of diapers is below 6, so that they know they will need to get more for the following week to have there. Your daycare center should let you know how often diaper changes are done. At the one I work at, we change the babies every 2 hours unless of course he or she feels wet or is dirty, then we change them right away.

2. Can of formula or bags of breast milk to store in the freezer to thaw out as needed with a bottle to keep at the daycare center. In our infant room, we have a cabinet that we use to keep each child's formula in with their first and last name on it, and once it gets to below the half way point we let the parent know that we're running low on formula so they know to bring some in the following week. If you breastfeed, your daycare facility likely has a freezer that you can store a gallon bag full of breast milk bags, so that when it's time for a feeding the daycare provider can thaw 1 bag per bottle for your child. 

3. Baby rice / oatmeal or baby food - If your child is on cereal or baby food, let your daycare provider know and you will need to provide enough to last through each week, so that they can feed the proper amount in a feeding for your child, such as fruits and vegetables. 

4. Burp cloths - If you'd like your child to have their own burp cloth at the daycare center, simply write his or her first name on the bib and give it to the provider to place in the child's bin with their stuff to stay there. 

5. Blanket - If you'd prefer your child to have their own blanket with them at the daycare, write his or her first name on the tag and give it to the provider to place in the child's crib. I know at the daycare I work at, we ask the parent(s) to take the child's blanket home each Friday or if they are only part time to take it home on their last day of the week, to clean.

6. Bottle - If you'd like to take a bottle into your child's room each day, just be sure to provide them with enough bottles to last your child through the day, whether it's formula or breast milk. If you would like the provider to keep the bottle there, just ask them to write his or her name on the bottle for you.

7. Change of clothes - Of course there are times when your child may have what we call a blowout and the clothes get dirty when it's diaper changing time, so be sure to provide them with 2 - 3 outfits or sleepers for him or her to have in their bin at the daycare center. They will be sure to let you know when you have to take the clothes home to wash.
