Hey Harleyman I am noob but I learned those are called cotyledon leaves and they hold food and nutrients from the seed and hang around until the food is used up then they dry and drop.

Just do not suffocate the roots with over saturation with watering without proper drainage, and you should be fine.
Yep Harley that's normal. congrats on the babies. My girlfriend puts bean sprouts on salad, every time I see them I think about weed.
I see you have a rack on an inverted tote lid, nice thinking. Keep light at optimal distance, let cup get light between waters (dry out a bit), and take it from there.
I see wood chips in the medium. Choice medium is very important, what is that?

They are to small to be losing them, mine generally don't lose them until there 4th or 5th set of leaves, I would say they are over watered. When they are this small they don't need water as often as a big mature plant.

Also I'd get a better potting soil that stuff looks terrible, it could also use some perlite, imo anyway

Ya man, let those things dry out a little, the leaves look a little yellowed, and def. get some perlite. That will help you from drowning them. I know it's hard to not over water, but just leave them alone for a few days. When i transplanted mine i did about 30% perlite, kept things nicey nice.
