A few daycare Q - clothes, mylicon, BF and bottles, etc..
DS' turn to go to daycare has come. 
I have a few questions.
- What kind of clothing is DC wearing?
- Did you bring his/her own toys?
Since I pump,
- Do I prepare the bottles in advance?
I use Mylicon in each bottles.
- Can I put Mylicon in bottles in advance or does the daycare have to put it in the BM just before feeding DS?

Re: A few daycare Q - clothes, mylicon, BF and bottles, etc..
Every daycare is different but here's the answers for the 3 that my kids have been in.
You would prepare the bottles in advance & put anything you need in them. I would tell them that there is mylicon in them just so they know.
No toys brought to school. It's too hard for them to "share" when they get to that stage. When he's older, he may be allowed to bring in a stuffed animal to sleep with. There was a mom in my daycare that had "NO PLUSH TOYS" on her daughters info sheet. She felt it helped ward off the spread of germs.
Clothes - anything you want but extra outfits for sure. Be prepared that some of the clothes may get wrecked if they're doing crafts.
Good luck with everything! If you have any more questions, I've been through almost everything.

Our daycare has a strict policy about no toys from home, you should check with yours. Also, as for the Mylicon, you should also check with them if they will administer it for you. At my daughter's daycare, you have to have a doctor's note saying its ok to give any over the counter meds.
As for clothes... something comfortable and easy for the workers to get off and on. Usually a onesie type top and pants to go with it. And of course, have a few back ups to leave there in case your child has an accident.
Good luck... its tough but your son will be just fine!

One piece outfits with snaps around the crotch and onsies with soft pants
- Did you bring his/her own toys?
No

Yes, my daycare required it. (It might be state law) You'll want to do that anyway because you'll want to supervise how much they feed him.
I use Mylicon in each bottles.
- Can I put Mylicon in bottles in advance or does the daycare have to put it in the BM just before feeding DS?
Not sure about the mylicon. My DS is getting baby origel at daycare. I had to sign a release for them to administer it. You may want to check with your individual center. Also some are not licensed to admininster any type of drug- over the counter or prescription.

DEf speak to daycare about the meds and policies..
But my daycare, for any meds even over the counter ones had to have formed filled out by doc and faxed directly to them. And the meds had to be labeled with names and dosages.
I sent DD in comfy clothes-like carters playsets and articles i didn't mind getting dirty.
My daycare let 1 toy come from home for their crib-like a lovey.
i weaned before i sent DD to daycare, but i know other moms who bf'd prepared bottles in advance for their feedings during the day.
