What do they do with 3 month olds in daycare?

Asked by stemnyjones (3976points) December 30th, 2009

It looks like I’m going to be forced to go back to work and put my daughter in day care, but I’m kind of worried about it. I want my daughter raised a certain way; I don’t want her in front of a TV, and I don’t like to wait for her to cry to get her taken care of; she shows me when she’s hungry by smacking her lips, and I change her wet diapers before she cries about it.

I don’t expect a day care center to get to her before she starts crying; I understand that there is more than one baby per worker and that level of care would be near impossible.

I am wondering, though, what do they do with 3 month old babies in daycare? Do they just lay them in a crib and come by to feed and change them every once in a while, or are they more hands-on and play with/entertain the babies?

Also, do you supply your own diapers and formula, or does the daycare use their own? If they use their own: my baby is on soy formula – will they cater to this?

Please keep in mind I am talking about a 3 month old baby only. I don’t care what they do with 6 month old babies or two year olds.
