Questions when touring daycares?

Question

First time mom here! What do i even ask? This is so overwhelming thinking of putting my newborn into the care of a stranger.

Answer

My daughter was almost 3 when she went to daycare, but these are some things I would ask if I was sending a newborn to daycare:
- caretaker to baby ratio
- what they do if baby is inconsolable
- do they support swaddling/pacifiers etc (not saying i wouldn’t send my baby to daycare if they didn’t, but just so i knew what to expect because I’ve heard some daycares do not allow these)
- do they expect baby’s to be on some sort of schedule
- how to they separate each baby’s formula or breastmilk so they aren’t mixed up. 
- how do they help support the breastfeeding mother (in terms of storing milk, how they handle bottles, etc. if breastfeeding is something you’d want to do).
