Going back to work

I'm going back to work in November and will be wfh 2 days a week and in London 1 day a week until Christmas, then in London 2 days/home 2 days from January while my husband takes leave. I have no idea how it's going to work with breastfeeding but I'm really determined to get to six months feeding and pumping. I'm just trying to take it as it comes but it's a lot to juggle!
It's super daunting but try not to overthink everything. Us women have a way of adapting quicker than humanly possible lol. I've actually been doing kit days once a week since the beginning of September and had the biggest meltdown because ultimately it wasn't my decision to return to work so early and I felt like my choices in pregnancy and PP had been completely swiped away from me. My mat leave officially ends this month and I'll be back to normal hours. I was so stressed about leaving baby (my shifts are 12 hours) I had no idea how I was going to manage breastfeeding and work. No idea how I would manage 4 kids, being up all night every night whilst working and running the home. But we find ways and you will be absolutely fine xx
After becoming a mom, you get extra strong 💪 you will do everything for your baby n for yourself. When I had my first 3 years ago,I worked nights 5 days. Slept for almost 3 hours a day. But, when you know you have to do it, then you can do it no matter what!
I know it's hard, bit try not to overtuink it and stress about it. Just follow your gut and trust the process ❤️ I work from home, do my husbands papers with 4 kids, youngest is June baby. It is hard, but once you find the rythm it gets better also if your Hubby is helpful and can coom dinner etc, it will be fine. If you can work around your baby's naps than it will be fantastic 🙂 I mostly do work staff at day when baby naps or in the evening when all went to bed. Or maybe you can take nanny if that pays of 🙂 good luck and you got this ❤️
