Due to work but baby is sick!!!
Hey all ! My girl is one years old, having not long returned back to work. What would you all do?
My LO has been ill for a few weeks now, been to doc who said everything seems fine , ears a little red. However last few days she has been so upset and irritable, bad sleep & completely off her solid foods, water and cows milk. I am still breastfeeding and this has obviously increased as all she will take is that!!! I’m due to go to work in 4 hours - am I being stupid for so badly wanting to stay home with her?
I want to take her to the doctors and I don’t feel it’s fair leaving her with other people when deep down I know it’s me she wants. Plus I haven’t slept!! And will probably get about 2 hours if she doesn’t wake up for the 9th time tonight!! I feel guilty and that I would be judged for calling in and not going to work.
Please help!! Am I being unreasonable??
All employers need to realise that when babies are involved they come first. They don’t have to like it but it’s tough. You’re not wrong or unreasonable for phoning in when she’s not well xxx
