Seedlings with Drooping Leaves - Overwatering?

Hi all!

This is my first ever grow, and I think I'm guilty of overwatering my young seedlings a bit. They sprouted last Saturday / Sunday, so they're only about a week old. I started them in these little jiffy peat pot things I found at a local store, and they seem to pull a LOT of moisture out of the soil, so I'd been watering a little bit from the bottom pretty much every day.

They looked strong at first started getting a little bit droopy on Wednesday, and yesterday the droop got to a whole new level and it has continued into today (pictures attached). I last watered them a bit yesterday AM, before realizing that was likely the issue. Now I'm allowing them to thoroughly dry out - I was thinking I would water them next on Monday or Tuesday.

What do some of the experienced growers in the community think? Have I correctly diagnosed the issue, or is there something else going on here?

Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

Not sure why he is saying never water from the bottom.... If you are able to water from the bottom then you should be watering from the bottom.
