Got Baby, Got To Go Back To Work
So you’re relaxing on the bed with your little one all cuddled up in your chest as you fill up her tiny tummy with breastfeeding milk for breakfast. It’s quite a picture perfect moment, isn’t it? Your heart swells at every move your baby makes, and a part of you wishes you could freeze time and stay that way forever.
But then you’re pulled back by reality as you realize that your 3-4 weeks long of maternity leave is coming to an end.
The mere thought of having to be apart from your little one, even if it’s for work, can be stressful for you. As such, if you find yourself reading this, take a deep breath, and we have a thing or two to share that might help you ease in.
Is the thought of going back to work and leaving your baby stressing you out? Then get a pen and paper! We’re making a checklist!
Have you organized childcare arrangements yet? Tick that off your list!
If you are breastfeeding, you might also want to consider stocking up on your supplies. Investing in high-functioning breast pumps will certainly be helpful for you, as we understand how your breasts may feel some discomfort during this period.
Lastly, try to discuss with your employer and ask if going back as a part-timer would be possible to help in your transition.
Juggling work and caring for a baby feels daunting for parents, hence, the guilt-feelings.
We understand how overwhelming it can be, so we recommend you to pause and take a deep breath as you try to gather yourself and your thoughts. Remember that you have to be at your best in order to reflect the same in your feelings and actions. Confidence can take you a long way, and having this kind of mindset will help you stay right on track, leaving the anxiety and guilt you’re feeling behind.
