I am fairly new to childcare, I started my home daycare last year. I've just taken on a 9-month-old for casual care, and this is the first time I've cared for a child under 1 (besides my own children). Both of my kids were breastfed but this child is on formula, & I was kind of unprepared when he came for the first time - they sent a tub of formula & 1 bottle, which looked like it had just been rinsed out (not cleaned/sterilized). So I had him 7 hours, & prepared 3 bottles, cleaning & then sterilizing the one bottle 3 times. My question is - is it normal that daycare providers would mix the formula & wash/sterilize the bottle? I want to ask for them to send the 3 bottles already prepared so I can store in my fridge until needed, or at the very least send 3 already-sterilized bottles so I can just mix up the formula. Is that asking too much? I don't have experience with this, so I'm not sure.
