It's one huge worry I carry these days.
My maternity leaves will be ending in a month's time and I have planned to keep my 6 months old baby in a day care near my office.
We do not have any grandparent at home to take care of the baby so we have no choice than to do this.
I can opt for work from home but that would surely bring me down in work as I will be concerned about my baby and her needs all the time. Guess, Fridays would be good to work from home but I have no clue how will I execute this plan.

if you have an option for working from home then you should go for this. there are so many people who are really are yearning to work from home with and to be with their baby you know you are really lucky to have an option like that you should not leave your baby at least for 2 years. you should take care of her.
even if you work from office leaving her at home you will not be able to concentrate more on work.. at least by you being at home and near your baby then you can concentrate more on your work and it will not bring your down at all..... take a positive view and be with you baby please...

Have to resume office work from next week after my Maternity leaves. Already nervous! But my Superiors and colleagues are helpful.

It is very challenging indeed. I am soon to join back to work and still not been able to come to terms with my heart and soul to leave my child in the hands of a caretaker. But, do I have an option? Answer to it is, can be yes for many; I can certainly quit the job. Afterall our little one is the top most priority for everyone. But, dear fellow women, have we not struggled for almost 25-30 years of our life competing in this world for our job, our career, our education etc to carve an identity of our own, walking shoulder to shoulder with men. So, how can we give up everything we fought for after our little one's birth. Let our child be our strength and not our weakness. Be an inspiration to him/her.
I plan to look for work from option. If that doesn't work out then certainly I will make up for him on weekends. I will be there for him whenever he needs me.
Let's add to the society by being what we are rather than what we helplessly chose to be. Imagine if all the female doctors, bankers, teachers, defence forces, engineers, politicians chose to sit back after childbirth. Weird! right?
So, let's go for it women. Take a dive into the ocean and be a dolphin rather than being a frog in the well. Cheers!

if you have support from your family it's well and good to continue your career but if u want to leave your kid with someone unknown to your family it's not a good idea.I know we struggle 25-30 years to be independent. but we reborn again when we given birth to our little baby. be with them until they needs us at least 2years.
we can be independent anytime because we educated we have plenty options to be independent . lets our child also be independent.
don't make unhappy their little heart. they don't even know to express their feelings....

I beleive toddlers needs more time and care as we need to provide the better understanding about everything and they are also going to remember the quality time we spent with them. So leaving career is not the solution.Now a days children wants quality time and support from the mother. I believe they also want their mother to be independent. I have seen so many grown up children who are ashamed to be with their parents.
