I am going back to work next week! I've decided to go back part time and I'm only doing short shifts (3.5-4hrs). My first one is next friday 9pm untill 12.30am (3.5hrs) but I am totally packing myself! DS is 5 1/2 months and i'm b/f. He would usually be asleep at that time but does sometimes wake for a feed! My heart is so sad thinking what happens if he wakes for a feed and mummy is not there to offer it! I know that DH will have a bottle of EBM but DS HATES the bottle! I also know that DS is not going to starve in those few hours. ANd that he usually only wants a comfort b/f at that time BUT I'm still sad
It is such a hard thing to do! WHy can'y maternity pay last forever... or at least 12 months????
