Daycare biters

[jules1614]

I'm so angry. I picked up LO from daycare and once I got him home I noticed this Huge bite mark on him. I didn't get any incident report or verbal report about it. He was also in someone else's diaper- which is normally nbd but combined with an unreported bite I'm really irritated and wonder what the heck happened today!

It wasn't his normal teacher today and I'm not sure if he stayed with the 2-3 year olds all day or not.

I plan on calling tomorrow, he's not scheduled to go back until Friday. I'm sure he cried and I could maybe understand them not seeing the bite happen but he got sunscreen applied 3x today- the last time about an 1hr before I picked him up and he was not sad when I picked him up so I can't imagine it had recently happened.

He's also in the "kiss it" stage when he gets "hurt."

Am I overreacting?

Wow! I would be annoyed too!
We don't do daycare, so I have no advice on that though. But I would definitely call tomorrow.

Not over reacting! I'm so sorry! Poor baby!

I'd be mad too! I get that things happen, but that is a bad bite! They should at least mention it to you. I'd expect them to say something about the incident, explain the consequences to the other kid, and assure you they will take steps to prevent it from happening again.

I would be annoyed, but, FWIW, DS got an unreported bite a few months ago. He was wearing long sleeves and the teacher said he did not cry. I believe it. He is a tough cookie. I didn't stress to much because we have had some issues with him biting at home and I anticipate we will be on the end of him biting someone else at some point.

Thanks for all the replies! Apparently he didn't cry either so they don't know when it happened and the "typical" biters weren't there so they aren't sure who did it.
