After 2 years I’m going back to work

Jaclyn

I’ve been a stay at home mom since my baby was born in August 2019. I’m going back to work starting on Monday and he’ll be starting daycare that same day. I’m starting to freak out about how he’s going to do being without me from 7-5. We’ve never really been away from each other for that long, we’re very set in our routine. I have a 13 year old as well but it’s obviously been a long time since I’ve gone through this and I had my mothers help with the first one and she was able to pick him up if need be, this isn’t the case this time around. My husband works a hour away so he can’t get there quickly if needed either. Please help! How do we make this transition as easy as possible?
