Feel this too ❤️
I don’t go back yet but I am dreading it. It feels so wrong to be apart from my little boy. I hate the idea of someone else taking care of him all day. Feel the same way about the breast feeding.
@Alexis just a question have you been able to keep up with breastfeeding thus far?
@Samantha I’ve been dreading it since before birth lol. And it is wrong. While I try to be grateful for the time I’ve had knowing moms in other areas of the world get so much longer really irks me. Not the moms but who decided such a short time?
I pump twice while at work and I make sure to breast feed at least once before work and then I breast feed in the afternoon and at night.
@Samantha it is absolutely wrong. We aren’t meant to be separated from our babies.
It is wrong! I’m so mad and sad about it. I had never previously considered working part-time and now I think about it constantly. Don’t think my job will allow which breaks my heart.
@Lindsay I’m right there with you. I’ve been scouring Indeed to try to find something part time that pays decent
@Lindsay im starting part time for 4 months until going back FT in January! So maybe they’d consider part time part time 🤷🏻♀️
That’s so great! I’m happy for you :) and you know, you’re right, it doesn’t hurt to ask! Maybe they will surprise me
I feel your pain. I returned to work part time when my daughter was just 6 weeks old. It’s been a really hard transition. I miss being with her day in and day out, comforting her, nursing her throughout the day, and our snuggle time. I go back full time next Monday and I sincerely don’t know how I’m going to cope with that transition.
