I really don't think he's going to get diseases from this. It's more just a question of not feeling like I can trust his daycare in general, you know? I hate feeling like he's in a place that might not notice something concerning because they're too distracted.
He is more than likely completely fine. The bigger question is how the daycare responds. If they are appropriately concerned and going to review/revise procedures AND can tell you what exactly he was fed, ok. I could live with that. If they blow you off? Burn it down.
I guess I'd qualify as breezy about it, lol. People donate breast milk for other babies, so I just don't think it's that big a deal? My son certainly didn't care.
It helps that I knew the mother in question, I suppose.
I would be upset but then I think of the above as well. I would want to know if it was breast milk if the mom was on medications or had any other health problems. If this was the only thing that I was upset about with the daycare,I wouldn't pull but if there were other ongoing issues I would consider it. I am not sure about your daycare but hardly no one at mine was pumping/bringing in breastmilk so hopefully it was just formula.
When I email the director, I am going to mention (in different words) that Wednesdays they are at capacity and it's always a shitshow over there. I know that legally as long as they're 4:1 it's allowed, but I am going to recommend a floater during peak active times in the room because it's seriously a madhouse unless at least 3 or 4 kids are asleep.
it's not completely true. In addition to having ratios based on age, there are square footage ratios. For example, my previous center had a 4:1 infant ratio but they couldn't put 12 infants in the room because it was only large enough for 10 children.

I'll inquire further but I have a feeling they're not breaking any rules. It's 8 babies and two caregivers on Wednesdays, but they're all at that perfect storm age of needing lots of attention without sleeping as much. That's the only day they have a full room and I just think it gets too hectic and mistakes happen.
