Mostly it is about timing in that you learn to fit your daycare around your child's schedule and you do things because of the baby such as not going on a long walk or to the park but to the back yard instead and you sit in a lawn chair and feed baby while kids play. At first baby may feed often but you can let them go up to 4 hours so that means before daycare starts, once in the middle of the morning during freeplay, during afternoon naptime and then once kids have gone home and before you start supper, once in the evening and then while watching the late news then everyone is in bed for midnight and then ideally baby soon learns to lat till between 5-6 am and the routine starts over.

Remember a fussy baby needs a soother not to be nursed for food if the time is less than two hours. Slings weren't available and you just learned to hold the baby although if you tucked the blanket you had over around and up under your arm it made a nice rest and took some of the strain off and by the time the baby was too heavy to carry with one arm while walking and nursing they were generally going at leat 4 hours and you just planned when you needed to sit.

Babies are adaptable and you can adjust them to a daycare schedule too by waking them a few minutes early and they will learn to self soothe if you just leave them and go back to sleep instead of rushing to them at every peep assuming they need to latch on. In other words how well it goes may depend more on you and your schedule than on the baby.
