This is true but hard to believe...........about breast feeding

alright it will probably seem wierd for me to be posting about breast feeding since i do not have a baby and such but this is just...hard to put words for... my best friend september her mom works at a daycare and since i used to work at many daycares and was a nanny in the past when we all got together we got to talking about changes in laws and such for daycares....well now at a daycare if a woman pumps and leaves bottles of breast milk for her baby it is get this considered a HAZARDOUS MATERIAL....since it is a "body fluid" so it has to be kept in a seperate refrigerater and it has to be heated seperate from bottles of formula...one of the heads of the daycare has to be the one who handles it to take to the teacher and then has to watch that the teacher heats it seperate and that the teacher only gives it to right baby and then puts the bottle in ther right diaper bag when it is empty... and it is more expensive to bring your own breast milk! at the daycare where dee works it is an extra $60.00 a month! the reasons for all of these procedures because the breast milk might be from someone who has aids and if the teacher has a cut on say her arm and tests the bottle for how warm it is on her arm then she may get aids. it just makes me upset when parents are trying to do really good things for their children and in a way get punished with having to pay more etc....so do other people agree that this is like way too much! well i did get out today in all of the snow and went to applebees to meet my friend chris who did not show...the food was good but would have been lots more fun to be having lunch with someone...then when mainstream picked me up it was sleeting. i was so glad to get home and inside safely and when i did get home i canceled my two appointments for tomorrow which probably will get canceled anyway...one knows the weather is bad when doctors offices closed...malls closed...osu and other colleges closed...meals on wheels is not delivering....since the weather is a bit warmer in the 20's instead of 0 gracie is wanting to go out more often but she gets soaked with doing doggie angels and with the snow and sleet coming down and i get concerned with her getting sick again so i only allow her about 10 -15 minutes at the most and then make sure i dry her off when she gets inside which at times trying to dry her off reminds me of trying to catch a 2 year old human.
