Can anyone give advise or say what they did please!
When is a reasonable time to go back to work after having a baby.(I'm not planning to go back just yet) I feel so guilty as partner doesn't want me to go back atall but said he will support me if I just want to do weekends so he can have little miss...
(It would be nearly impossible for me to go back full-time) and with everything that's gone on he doesn't want his baby going to nursery so I understand where he's coming from I just want to help towards bills Ect more and I know even a weekend will help abit x

So iv decided that what Is best for us as a family is I go back to work on a weekend I think it will give the partner some needed time with the kids and I will feel I'm taking some of the pressure off him financially and actually might help my sons behavior as he was loads better and apreciated what I did for him when I worked and wasn't there 24/7 but I will just see how things go as I have to put my family first.. I didn't think this would be a hard decision I was ment to go back full-time when she's 6 months but the closer it now gets I don't think I could spend that much time away from her 😔 xx

I have to go back in January (9months) it's going to kill me I think and I already dread it. I have done a couple KIT days that have not been so bad as I know she has been safe with my sister. When I go back in Jan she will either be in a nursery or childminder I haven't decided yet.
If I had a choice I would not go back, partner would struggle to support us all and I'm the bread winner 🙈 I'm thinking in my head that maybe after my second bubba we will be better financially and I can go work at tesco part time or something. My partner thinks this would be a waste of the last 2 decades... When I return to work I will be a registered manager of children's home. If I where you I'd stay put and enjoy that bubba whilst you can but that's just me ❤️

I wish I had a family member that was reliable but if I'm honest I don't think I leave her with anyone and feel happy. I don't drive and my family are all Atleast half hour drive away from my work.
I was thinking nursery for a day or 2 but my partner isn't having it and said he would rather work a Saturday and me not go back to work.(he's very stubborn but he means well😂)
See I just work in a kitchen in a hotel..good pay and if left decent I could have a job there again in the future. But it's got to be so hard for you knowing you have worked so hard to get where you are and financially it's probably best but it's hard to be away from your baby.. I totally get it.. I didn't work when my son was younger due to his health and it just being us 2 but I started when he was about 3 and I felt like a new person but now I have a proper family it's hard xx

It’s reasonable when and if it’s right for your family.
I went back after one year first time and 14 months second time I do three days and family are able to watch the kids when my oh isn’t home as he works away

See i went back when niamh was 7 months and I only lasted a month i couldnt be away from her for that long everyday. So now shes 14 months I feel a bit more ready to go back full time. Currently looking for part time but if the right role turns up then I'll do it. You could always wait till shes 2 and then go back the hours shes entitled to at nursery or you could put her in nursery while you go back but nursery is expensive I would just sit down and work out if its better going back full time or part time when you first feel your ready. I think if I went part time tobegin with i would have felt okay and staying there.
