How do I stop feeling anxious about RTW after mat leave?!
FTM. My daughter will be 11 months old when I go back to work in July and I’m sooooo anxious about going back to work leaving her at home and also leaving her with a nanny. My husband will initially WFH the days I go to work and my mum has kindly offered to help as well however my daughter is going through a bad separation anxiety phase so she’s basically glued to mama all the time. Now I’m so worried about how my husband, my mum or the nanny will manage her when I’m not there? Who will tell them what she wants when’s she’s upset and what they should do? I know it’s going to be hard but I feel so sick thinking about it sometimes. I’ll be working 2.5 days a week with only one long day 8-5 but omg the thought of being away for her for that long makes me so sad. How did you all manage? How hard was it? I know my daughter will have to learn and adapt but thinking about her missing me and struggling to fall asleep or something breaks my heart so bad!!!!! Please give this mama advice and tips on how I console myself that my baby is ok without me and she’ll learn and how do I teach myself to be ok without her!!!!
