Work Guilt

Hello! I go back to work on Monday and I feel guilty even though my husband will be home during my shift times to be with him before he goes to work (he works nights) and I know it probably sounds silly but I don’t want my baby to forget me or feel I am abandoning him Does that sound silly/crazy or has anyone else felt like this if they have gone back to work recently?
