I hate daycare

7 month old. It's been eight days at daycare and I've been crying hysterically every single day. The daycare has a live stream and I've been paralyzed watching it every second until I pick her up. I started off with half days, 4 hours. And slowly increasing from there. Seeing her cry while others are being tended to rips my soul. She was just starting to nap an hour here and there instead of her typical 30 minutes and now she's worse off taking 20/25 min naps. We had just kicked the snacking habit and she was taking Fuller feeds of 6 oz and now she's only taking two or three ounces at daycare .When I pick her up at 3:00pm she looks dazed and confused as if her spark was extinguished and it breaks my heart. I hate this so much. Please tell me it gets better.

7 month old. 5 am wake ups

Please help. She goes to sleep between 7-8pm. Has about 24-28oz a day before bed. Naps are still short (30mins) or require rescuing to extend to 1hr (if lucky). At 5am I change diaper and bottle feed but she won't go down until 6am. This is making getting ready for daycare in the morning tricky (started daycare 1 week ago). I've tried resetting without bottle or diaper change and she either cries or won't sleep. What can I do to extend sleep closer to 7am.

Baby sleeps in our room still.
