I know others feel differently but that's my opinion and what I always did.
That can go either way. It depends on the provider policy, if the provider has a policy on this. I personally would never have taken on an infant if I knew I had one soon to be coming that would cause an issue. I do have a policy where siblings get first priority, but if I had a mom having a baby soon and I had an empty space, I would likely just leave it empty rather than have an issue.
