IF she thinks dad will mess up the babies schedule, wait until the daycare gets ahold to him.
They don't have the time, staffing nor the inclination (or the pay scale for that matter) to follow anyone's schedule but their own and mom will be sorely disappointed when baby's nap time is changed from her 11:30 to whenever the baby drops.
Daycare won't salvage her schedule, it will discard it completely. Baby won't be fed when she "instructs" the baby will be fed when he screams enough and someone is available to feed him.
My state allows 1 caregiver per 5 infants aged birth to 18 months. So in the typical room of 10 infants, there will be 2 adults, each caring for 5 infants. They absolutely won't follow her instructions so she's really better off letting dad mess it up at least then baby is with a parent.
Also inhome daycares are worse. They view their home as a service provided not as an employee of the parent and they operate their schedules to fit their homes and their lifestyle. They won't "follow" her schedule either.
Best advice, lax up a bit and let dad find his way. If she continues to "inform" him that hes doing it wrong, she's denying him the right to figure it out and the baby's aability to learn to cope with differences.
