I have 3 kids with a 4th on the way and I work full time and my husband works full time with 2 part time jobs on top of that. Daycare is our only option.
Mine goes to daycare. I don't work from home. But even on days that I di because he's sick it's hard to get anything done tbh. He's very clingy. But daycare honestly has been great. I can see he enjoys it there and I still have a good bond with him.
I work from home and my girl just turned 1. I can adjust a lot of things in my schedule when I need to and she can be on some of my meetings. My husband also has some days he can work from home, and we have someone we are close with watch her on an as needed basis. Even with all of that, it can still get pretty chaotic, but I'm able to make it work. If I didn't have the flexibility with my schedule though, I think it would be a different story.
Daycare/nanny/babysitter
I honestly work during her sleep and nap times mostly. I asked for early start specifically to get ahead on work. Then I enlist help, family or pros, for any meetings I have. The rest of the time its me and baby getting things done around the house. I play with her while I do everything. Its still stressful, still tired, but she seems happy. I will say leaning on others is a great help. It was hard for me to listen to her cry during the first meetings or when people just offered to help in general, but its worth it for her to bond with others and for you to have your space/sanity. Eventually, she will get used to having multiple caregivers.
