Your baby was born a few months ago and your maternity leave is coming to an end: either by choice or necessity, you are going to have to go back to work. After this long period of bonding with baby, this stage is difficult for most mothers, even those who enjoy being back at work.
To ensure it's as serene as possible, get yourself organised early on so you can find the child care service that suits you best: in some regions, you have to begin looking for the ideal nanny or a place in a day-nursery at the beginning of your pregnancy! Once that problem is taken care of try not to overreact and do not feel guilty: after a period of adaptation your baby will no doubt be very happy with the person who cares for him or her, especially if they feel that their mother has left them with complete confidence. And how wonderful to be together again in the evening for lots of cuddles.
Take a look at our advice for finding the right child care for your needs and dealing with the separation really smoothly!
