When do you plan to go back to work after baby?

Question

How do you manage sleepless night? And what makes you stay strong

Answer

I went back at 16 weeks. I drank a ton of coffee. And I went back because I like paying all my bills on time 🤣😂🤣

Answer

Went back at 12 weeks. I literally have a check list that I go through every night after the kids are in bed to get ready for the next day (make lunch, get outfit ready, get kids’ stuff ready for daycare, etc.). That way I can just wake up, dream feed the baby, then get dressed and leave to maximize sleep. Then I drink coffee.

Answer

Went back at 9 weeks. Husband was a tremendous help. I would go to bed at 9pm every night. He would take care of all baby needs until 1ish and then I would take care of baby needs after that. We would tag team frequently and it really made everything so much better until baby slept through the night.

Answer

3 weeks postpartum, started a new job that could not be postponed. Drinking all the coffee within a mile radius!

Answer

I went back to work 18 weeks after I had my last child and will take the same time off again for the new one. Coordinating with my hubby on who feeds baby in the middle of the night, who makes dinner which night of the week, who goes grocery shopping, etc. helps take the stress off. I have pics of my kids on my desk as a reminder that I am working to provide for them.

Answer

I went back after a month this time. It was tough. The sleeplessness you just deal with. If you can nap st home, do it. Sometimes I’ll go to bed and my husband will put the kids to bed and feed baby a bottle of pumped milk so I can get in an extra hour or two.

Answer

I went back to work after 5.5 months of maternity leave. All babies are different and I was blessed with a great sleeper. I started her bedtime routine early on to get her used to sleeping at night. She only wakes once a night for a feeding and a diaper change. I’m also a BF Mom so it’s pretty much on me every single night to feed her. I’ve learned to prep the night before which makes the mornings easier. The 1st week back to work was a hot mess for me dealing with anxiety, hormones and a new way of life. After my 1st week I quickly adjusted to my new routine. What makes me push ahead is my daughter and knowing how fast she grows and one day I’ll look back and miss her being a baby.

Answer

I went back to work 10 wks pp my twins. I only worked 4 days at the time. But I did all baby stuff hubby work is more challenging and he works a lot of hours so I did everything at night. It was rough. I did go to 3 longer days so now I work mwf which made it soo much easier on me. I still do all night stuff but now I have a day in between to catch up on cleaning or sleep

Answer

With my first I went back at 9 weeks. Lots of coffee. I love what I do, and that keeps me going. I can’t imagine how hard going back would be if I didn’t feel passionate about my work. With this baby I’ll be taking longer, like 13 weeks.

Answer

I went back at 6 weeks, it actually helped me to just stay awake from my sons 3 am feeding on so I could wake up slowly
