The daycare workers for infants need training. My 8 week old grandchild was laid on stomach and the Childcare worker said "they laid her on her stomach and she slept all day". Everyone should know, the guidelines state, you DO NOT lay an infant on their stomach to sleep. The cuddlesack that was required was not used, so no blanket as she's used to. Also stated the nipple on bottle was collapsing and that never happens at home so obviously the bottle was propped up instead of being held by worker. This is very alarming and unacceptable. The amount of money for this facility and care provided is way out of line.
