I absolutely agree 100% . While I was encouraging pulling and reporting.... In no way would I encourage taking them back to that provider. I agree if you do so, you lose all credibility.
If you report and tell DHS at you sent your child back they are going to laugh you off the phone. And they should.- Flag

Re:
Thankfully, we have found a family member who will be able to watch him this week so we'll be able to pull him out immediately until we find an alternative.
And to clarify , I never stated above I was planning to report them to DHS. This was suggested by others. I was seeking advice about whether to take the Director at her word and expect changes or to pull him out. But, again, thanks for the advice.- Flag

I am glad you found an alternative. I hope you find the right provider for your family!

Many do this
I wish more parents were educated on this. Most of the parents I've had over the years prop the bottle, especially 5 months and up. I would guess many providers do also. And...
I am curious if other providers have noticed this from their parents. And did this parent specifically tell this center not to do that before enrollment?
I wouldn't report them, BUT I would have been curious if this has been a practice and would have explained the dangers. For any infant I would find someone with very few kids, and only one infant at a given time. Myself I only take one infant because they require so much more attention.- Flag

You write that the other workers were busy with other babies.
"One of the caregivers was sitting near him feeding another baby and the other caregiver was taking care of the other infants."
You should read the daycare book about what really goes on in daycare, Doing Time. It explains why things like this happen. Not because your center is bad or because the workers are bad but because there are so many babies and only 2-3 workers. Babies eat all the time. Do the math and bottle propping becomes the norm in daycare. It is bad but it is the truth.- Flag
