Who has gone back to work?

Question

I go back part time on the 12th. I have found myself just feeling nervous and anxious throughout the day, sleeping terribly thinking about going back. I of course know that I’ll miss my daughter terribly, but I think I’m more stressed about the logistics of it all. Like the morning routine, pumping at work, feeding schedule, etc. 
Anyone in the same boat, or anyone that has gone back that can give me some words of encouragement or advice?

Answer

I don't go back for another 16 months

Answer

I think I am anxious about the routine in the morning but I am more worried about going back to work when my LO is not sleeping through the night 😞 I need my sleep to function outside of the house

Answer

I just had my first day back today! I was so nervous about pumping and being away from baby but it went ok. I fed her before I left for work in the morning.I pumped at 10 and 2. But tomorrow I’ll pump at 9, 12, and 2 I think. She doesn’t take bottles well and only ate 2oz the whole day! But she was happy when I came home and I think tomorrow she will fight the bottles a little less.  It went well and I’m proud of myself for making it through the first day. You will find your groove, baby will too. Just takes a little time i think. Good luck to you! To us! Lol

Answer

I go back part time next month and I'm dreading it.  I'm not so much worried about where my son will be since my mom is watching him,  but I'm worried about being away from him for so long(10+ hour shifts) and how his morning and bedtime routines will go,  and about keeping my milk supply up. I wish the US had longer maternity leaves.  He'll be 3 months by then but he's still so small and reliant on me.

Answer

Im going back monday :( i am worried about how he will be in daycare not knowing anybody, he is 3 months old. Also I need to figure out where I'll pump at work. I am a teacher so I can't really do it in my room, I share a room with 3 other teachers. I have already talked to my principal about options. No solutions yet :(
