Cost of daycare

Aw, man! =| This is what I get for living in metro New York. Where I am, we're paying $250/week for full-time care; it includes food and snacks for older kids, but doesn't include any kind of formula, baby food, diapers, or wipes. And, if you can believe it... around here, it's a *bargain* too! |

In my neighborhood - where the places I visited are located, the median is closer to $20K/yr. |

If it makes you feel any better, Andrea, I pay a bit over $150/week for full-time care, which doesn't include any of the "perks," and I live in the middle of North Dakota. Considering the difference between the ND and NY standards and costs of living, I think it sounds like you have an *incredible* bargain!! Considering what I pay, I would've thought NY would cost a -fortune- more. -Carlye DS 6-2-06 DD 9-29-04 |

If you don't qualify for subsidy money or sliding scale, daycare for an infant/toddler is between $200-$250 a week here. I'm paying $21/day for a 5 hour MDO program here (although part of that is an upcharge for early drop off). -Carlye DS 6-2-06 DD 9-29-04 |

formula advertising, or not?
Vanessa ) writes:
It seems to me that the agency is just advertising that they provide formula for infants that are formula fed. Surely they'd give mother's breastmilk to those babies whose mothers provide that to them, but they surely can't provide breastmilk and therefore wouldn't include "nappies, formula milk, mother's milk and healthy meals included" in their ad. Of course, but I don't like it either. In effect, they're subsidizing formula-feeding families at the expense of bf ones. If they said "we provide formula, and free snacks and drinks for bf mothers" it would be more equitable. I doubt they would want to say that, though. There are international guidelines for "Baby-friendly hospitals" and I'm pretty sure one of them is the hospital must not give samples of free formula to mothers. This seems similar to me, though there may not (yet) be any written guidelines against it. |

formula advertising, or not?
"cjra" ) writes:
All were quite happy to feed with EBM, they just provided formula as a service. But were they willing to *mention* EBM or bf before you mentioned it? If not -- how come they bring up the subject of formula, but leave it to parents to bring up the possibility of bf? This kind of thing contributes to a general myth that formula and bottles and pacifiers and cribs are used by all babies and/or that although bf exists somewhere in theory, polite people don't talk about it. |

Found this on our ds's nursery website: Parents will have the facility to store frozen expressed breast milk if necessary. Formula feeds can be prepared and brought in from home or prepared by the nursery staff. So looks like some get it the right way round, although to be honest I would be seriously surprised if any nursery would *intentionally* try and advertise formula over bm. Jeni |

I didn't ask. I wasn't on a mission or trying to make a point. I only wanted to make sure they had adequate storage facilities. They were not at all surprised, like it was nothing different. |

Considering what I pay, I would've thought NY would cost a -fortune- more. I live in Toronto and pay $1100/month (that's the rate for 12-18 month olds) at a very well-regarded non-profit daycare. Includes fresh cooked meals, snacks, and milk and we provide diapers and wipes. For a couple of months we had her in another, private, daycare centre before her spot opened up in this place (which is at my work site), and it was $1400/month. And we were happy to get a spot!! Our dollar is .90/USD As to the OP I think they are advertising that they provide formula, not advertising formula. Elle |
