SAHM moms how did Yk you were ready to go back to work

I went to work at around 7 months but only on the weekends. So the whole week I was with my baby. A slow start really helps. And I got some money two days a week. It helped a little. I'm including Friday this week. And I'll stick with that for now. Pumping at work is not the most convenient for me. But every workplace is different. I only pump at lunch (20 min), and if I really needed to do it more, I would be able to if I stood my ground and with clear communication.

i went back to work full time when my son was about 4 months and i did that for 3 weeks and it was awful i took he cried all day when i left and i absolutely regret it. i ended up taking 2 weeks off then went back to work part time 2-3 days a week and that has been so much better he’s almost 10 months now. going to work part time was what was best for us, i definitely would recommend a slow start (part time) at first because my son had a really hard time adjusting to me being away for long amounts of time. but always remember to do what is best for you and your family :)

I went back to work when my girl was 5 months old. I went for about 3 weeks then had to take a week off because she got sick then had to take 2 weeks off because she got sick again. It was a mess. Now she’s almost 10 months and I been working full time

I'm almost hitting the 1 year mark and I'm trying to stay home until she starts preschool.
