That was ONE of Faust's ideas. She told; "I don't know if a different backstory will ever be revealed so, as always, my ideas shouldn't be considered canon." In the show, it was never proved or mentioned.

Some fans out there still want to think that Celestia raised him, like the artist for this pic, (I don't know if she/he does) even though this one of Faust's ideas were NOT supposed to be canon at all, like any others. Like Twilight's parents, they might've been the ones who raised him since any new-born creature like dragons who seemed harmless and safe enough for them to take care of. That could also be one of Faust's ideas, as well.
Even if this was canon, Twilight was the one who hatched him and was supposed to take care of him herself. But she was only a filly, so Celestia just did it FOR her by simply only keeping him fed... anything whatever a young, baby creature just needs. Some fans even want to think that Celestia had her "motherly" moments, though the only things she did was just to make sure he gets fed, everything he needed, as I said. Sure, anyone can imagine that Celestia had her "motherly" moments if the like. But WHY? It doesn't mean she has or had those kinds of acts or anything at all just because she looks after a new-born creature, someone like Spike, especially when it isn't the same species... and when you're taking care of it for someone ELSE.
No offense, but I did notice some fans in a few places who directly boasts this "Celestia "DID" raise Spike" thing like it "DID" happen or whatsoever, which proves that it has gone pretty far into their heads, and that's damaging them, which also kinda bothers me a little tbh. I never even wanted to interfere with them and their thoughts face to face, and I'm also worried about how they or the fandom might end up with these random imaginations and all. There's been too much drama and war with stuff like shipping, and so on. I've seen it, I don't know if you have, but I sure did.
