Daycare issues

Hello ladies!
I admit I have been lurking here since I was pregnant about 9 months ago and the advises have been very helpful. I went back to on the 28th of July and that's the day LO started daycare. My oldest used to go to this daycare and it's across the street from my work , so i go visit LO at my luch time. When I register her, I made sure I told them that i did not want LO on the bobby on tummy time( pediatrician order since she has neck issues) until her neck muscles are strong enough to support her head. The next day , when i went to visit her at my lunch time, the afternoon teacher told my that she did good on tummy time with the boppy. I assumed that she did not get the message, I told her that I did not want her on boppy during tummy time because of her neck problem. My husband is the one picking LO up at 5pm. She is 10
5 weeks by the way. Five days ago, when my husband pick up LO, i nocited that her onsie was wet from drooling and smelling( the same one i dropped her with in the morning)I changed her in the car. The next day, after DH pick up LO then pick me up after work, I noticed LO had dried tears ( she has a lot of tears whe she cries)on her face, but she was sleeping. I asked DH, he said LO was sleeping when he picked her up. So yesterday, I'm the one who picked up LO. I went there and found her sleeping on the boppy on her back with her head king of hanging and the bottle by her side. I picked her up from the boppy, i noticed that the top of her onsie is soaked (and driying ) from drooling( she doean't drool that much with me only when she's hungry and put her fist in her mouth). I told the teacher that LO onsie was wet. She said, oh she has been drooling a lot. While I was talking to the teacher i don't remember exactly about what, she said that LO has been taking her bottle by herself! I was like What??? Taking her bottle by herself?? She said yes. Like they will place it on the mouth against the boppy or swing and she will take by herself and she is good at it. She was proid of that. I was chocked! I mean she's still a newborn, she is months and 2 weeks tomorrow. How can she be eating by herself?? My oldest did not hold the bottle by himself until he was 14 months because he was EBF and would not eat from the bottle when he started daycare. But LO does not want to lacth on my breast so I pump. Am I just being too worried, protective ?? And I feel like she has not gained any weight since she's at the daycare , because i though she should be on size 2 diaper by now, but she's still on size one . Any advise will be appreciated. Help please!!

Re: Daycare issues
I've learned one lesson...go with your gut with daycare issues. If you aren't happy, find somewhere else so you can work without being worried about your little one. If you want to mention the issues first and give them a chance, that's up to you. This is your baby and you need to feel comfortable leaving them every day.
With that said, my baby is still in size 1 diapers at 14 weeks. He could definitely move up to size 2, but I'm trying to finish this box. I felt like both of my kids were in size 1 diapers for awhile. I wouldn't use that as a guide to gaining weight as much as a scale.
Allowed - being permitted to do something
Aloud- audible (as in "she read that book aloud for the class")
You weren't the only one that made that mistake so don't internalize things so much.
