Good morning all!!

So this question is pertaining to my own, soon to join us, son. In 4.5 weeks, I will have my C-section and my new little guy will join us. After 2 weeks, I will be reopening the daycare. And I have some worries.

When I started daycare, my youngest was 4 months old and I had a small group. I was able to leave him on his blanket on the floor, playpen or silly saucer. This time around, he will be 2 weeks old and I have a full group, and, to be honest, many of them are not very 'aware' of their surroundings. There is absolutely no chance that I will leave him on the floor without me sitting RIGHT beside him, and I fear that if I put him in a playpen, certain children will throw things into it. I know that they will have to learn and adjust, but I obviously do not want the babys wellbeing at risk while they do.

I have thought of getting a carrier, but hubby thinks that is a bad idea, due to he will always want up.

For those whom raised a newborn in the daycare setting, what somethings that you did.
