Going back to work

So Monday will be my official back to work day and it will be my first time ever leaving my baby for more than an hour. Do you all have any tips to help me get over this anxiety of leaving him? Lol

Thank you!

Wow that face! 😍 Like what others have said, updates and photos will ease the return to work. It also helps to acknowledge that you may need a couple weeks/months to transition back, and that that’s okay. My partner wanted to quit work altogether when she returned, but after about four weeks felt okay about being there again. Let the transition be what it needs to be, and be kind to yourself. :)

Thank you so much! I didn’t think it would be this hard but I see what they say is true being a mother changes you lol

That face!!! OMG!! I have been back to work full time now for 2 weeks. It is still hard but my sitter is great about texting updates on how my LO is doing. It is hard but I know she is getting things from the sitter I can’t give her. She is around other kids and is much more stimulated. Cherish the moments after work and the weekends if you get them. I even get up an extra hour early so cuddle mine before taking her to daycare. You’ll get it momma!

I started to say the same thing...."don't! How could you leave that beautiful face lol" I've heard "absence makes the heart fonder" which can be a good thing

Lol thank you and I may have to take you up on your offer she is absolutely beautiful❤️❤️❤️

Have a side hustle that becomes your full time hustle and stay home with your little, it was a game changer for me! Mamas like you are so brave and have a lot of strength when that time comes to go back work, I give you ladies a lot of respect!

Omg he is so frickin cute!! 😍😍 I haven't experienced this myself yet, but I would take videos and pix and maybe look at them from time to time. If possible call the care taker and see if you can talk to him over the phone so he can hear your voice.

This gorgeous baby face 😍😍😍😍😍 Why not stay home?

What a beautiful baby!! It doesn’t really get easy. I feel like the guilt was always there. I ended up starting my own business to be with my kids.

I’m not going to lie to you leaving for like 8 hours is hard and u will miss him like crazy but what helped me is FaceTime.

OMG.....beautiful boy !!!!!

Facetime, videos of baby whole pimping if nursing

He is so handsome 🥰😍

I feel this 100%! I go back to work Nov. 1st and I’m dreading it so bad. I hate that this is so difficult in this country. We can’t afford for me to be a SAHM - we’re not Sweden!! I think FaceTime breaks are a great suggestion. I’m going to do that for sure.
