Going back to work

[BrightSparkles]

I went back at 5 months with Miss J - 4 days and week and will be doing the same with Miss S. Both girls are and will be in FDC. My wk is flexible so some days i can wk from home if i need to.

I went back to work part time when DS was 3 months old (first full time hours for a month to fill in for someone, and then back to 3 days a week).

Same with DD1 - when she was 3 months old.

Now I'm a SAHM so I don't have to go back to work just yet, but will be studying nursing when the last baby is about a year old.

I went back FT when DD1 was 7 months, my mum minded her. DD2 was 4 months but I only went back 3 days a week 8-3 (I was still BF) mum minded her up until she died when DD was 2. With DS I went back 3 days from when he was 8 months- he went to FDC where he still goes.

I think for many people it probably depends on your money situation a fair bit. But I can tell you, those first few months bonding with your baby are something you can never have again compared to an outside job, which in most cases will still be there down the track.

Do what feels right for you.
