What to Bring for Your Infant

To help keep your baby comfortable and prepared throughout the day, please provide the following items:

• Diapers and wipes

• At least two complete changes of clothing

• Bottles and all meals and snacks needed for the day

• Pacifiers and any approved comfort items your child may need

• Diaper creams and lotions

• Pack & Play sheet

• Sleep sack

• Extra supplies whenever possible in case something is used, soiled, or forgotten

Please clearly label all of your child's belongings with their first and last name. Many children have similar items, and labeling helps us make sure everything stays with the correct child.

Bottles & Feeding

Families are responsible for providing breast milk, formula, meals, and snacks for their infant.

 

Please provide one bottle for each feeding your baby will need during the day. Formula bottles should be sent with the desired amount of water already in each bottle and the correct amount of formula pre-measured in a separate, labeled container for each feeding. Our teachers will mix the bottle when your baby is ready to eat. Staff cannot measure formula or reuse bottles between feedings.

 

Breast milk should be provided in individual, labeled bottles ready for each feeding.

​

Please remember: Infant routines and needs change quickly as babies grow. We encourage families to regularly check clothing sizes, feeding supplies, diapers, and other belongings to make sure your child has everything they need for a comfortable day at Roots.
