Bottle propper at daycare

Ladies I just need to make sure I'm going about this the right way.

Friday I picked up DS and noticed one of the infants (4 months maybe) was in the swing with a boppy on her. I asked the 'new girl' (older woman w/ some language barrier) about it and she said that she puts the bottle on it so she can work with the other babies while that baby eats. I about flipped out on her! Instead I said 'Oh, so she can hold the bottle by herself then'. The woman totally missed where I was going with it.

Anyway, the lead teacher wasn't there at the time and I want to talk to her before going to the director. Do I call her today (the other woman doesn't get in till noon) or do I wait to talk to her this evening at pick up (and ask her to step out of the room to chat). I seriously love everyone at his daycare except this woman, I just have always had an 'eh' vibe with her. The lead teacher and I have a great relationship but she needs to get this woman in check with safety issues!

 So, phone call or face to face?

    I would phone. And bottle propping is very dangerous so I completely understand your fears/frustration.

    I just called - and propper answered the phone! Lead teacher isn't in yet so I asked her to have her call me when she has a moment.

    Face to face at pick up.  Keep in mind you don't know what that child's parents asked for.  Maybe they want their kid to learn to hold his own bottle.  I have actually heard that before - so you never know.  But go with your gut and tell the lead teacher when you see her.

    Our daycare isn't allowed to prop bottles. I think it is a requirement for accreditation in our state (NC), but I'm not sure.

    My ass would be on the phone with the director.

    Or face-to-face at pick up.

    I just got done with the lead teacher - she was not happy. She's talking with the director now to figure out the best plan to take with this employee. I'll see her at pick up so hopefully by then they will have addressed it.
