With DD1 I returned to work for 8 hours a week when she was 4 months. She came to work with me in a sling and then would have her nap in the port-a-cot. This went on until she was around 11 months and wouldn't cooperate very well. I taught Puppy preschools one night a week and worked Saturdays as well as doing 4 hours of administrative work with her there.
I started doing a full day of work when she was 13 months old and she went to Family Day Care... Then I got pregnant again and stayed with that. When DD2 was born, I went back to doing the puppy preschool at night and the admin stuff with the baby in the sling for a 10 months and then she started family day care for 1 day a week while I went up to a full day work.
We did need the extra income, but it was also good for me to have another use of my brain.
