I have always found the day care followed any routines or "special instructions" that we had for the boys. However I am not sure what you mean by "I thought they'd feed them when they cry for food". If a baby cries for food it is well past the point of hunger - babies should be fed before they start crying. Are you saying that's what you are concerned about, that they won't feed your DS until he is crying? At first reading I thought you were saying that you didn't want them to feed your DS when he's crying with hunger and was wondering what on earth else you'd do with a hungry baby LOL!! I guess I should have a coffee before I read posts this early in the morning!!
