1 Answer

POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months ago

A. Yes, it is okay for a mother to return to work and leave the baby with grandparents for 12 hours, provided the baby is in a safe, loving, and responsive environment. Grandparents often offer warmth, attention, and familiarity, which helps the child feel secure in the mother's absence. To make this smoother: Ensure the baby’s routine (feeding, naps, playtime) is well communicated and followed. Stay connected through video calls if possible. Make sure grandparents are comfortable and capable of handling any baby needs. Don’t feel guilty—many working moms do this, and babies can thrive with strong support systems. Ultimately, a happy and supported mother leads to a happy child. Just maintain consistency, love, and reassurance, and your baby will adjust well.
