I’m a first time mom, I have a 6 month old. I’m feeling the pressure of returning to work but I really don’t feel like I’m ready to leave my baby at daycare or under someone else’s care. I’ve been enjoying becoming a mom despite all the challenges. Dad isn’t in the picture because he’s in another state for work and I don’t feel comfortable leaving my baby with anyone else. Am I ever going to be ready to return to work? I’ve struggling with that for some time now and I really haven’t been able to make a decision. I think I’m having FOMO on my baby’s firsts. So many people are telling me that it’ll be okay and that I should return to work. Although I was a workaholic before my baby was here, I don’t want to go back but I know I’ll have to at some point. Is it easier to rip off the band aid and get it over with or should I wait?
