Going back to work

Stephanie

I'll be going back into the office full time starting on Monday. I've been working at home, part time since she was 3 months old, which has been the absolute best of both worlds.

I'm having a bit of a hard time dealing with it all but I'm hoping it goes well. My husband is a teacher so he'll be home with her all summer, which is great.

I guess I'm just looking for encouragement that my baby isn't going to be distraught if I'm not around all day anymore. I'm going to miss her so much but I worry more about how she'll feel. Has anyone gone back to work with a slightly older baby? (I specify older because now there feels like a real personal attachment as opposed to the more instinctual and need-based attachment she had to me when she was much younger). How did it go? How did you and your baby adjust to the change?
