When I worked in the infant room at KinderCare, I thought the breast-fed babies were actually easier to care for because we didn't have to go through the effort of mixing up their formula--it was brought to the center daily in individual labeled bottles. The procedure was basically the same other than that extra step though.
Well, the breast milk was kept in the fridge, and the powdered formula canisters were kept in a cupboard. We had to use a different colored tape to label the breast milk bottles with the child's name (green for breast milk, white for formula), but we used the same bottle warmers and everything. No "biohazard." If it were a biohazard, we would have had to feed the kids with gloves on, haha.
Haha about the gloves. Doesn't sound like a big problem at all.
Isn't it nice to have a job you can call in sick to? I have that same freedom as well, but I don't think I took advantage of it very much. Not until I went in labor! But we had someone ready to cover when I went into labor.

You didn't have to store them separately or label them "bio hazard" though, right?
