[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, you may be able to pull this off for a short while when the baby is mostly in eat/sleep mode. During the pandemic shut down, when we had no choice, DH and I woke up at 5am and worked 5am-7am until baby and 4 yo woke up. Then we did shift work. We'd switch off 9-1pm & 1-5pm. Then after we put the kids to bed we would both work 9-11pm. It was tough. Really tough. And it was also hard for colleagues because they only had four hours a day to schedule me for meetings (and my job is very very meeting heavy). They were very understanding at the time, but I think if I pulled something like that now they'd be less understanding because we are out of pandemic lock downs and other parents on the team have figured it out (all have secured childcare). Three months into the pandemic, we asked our nanny if she felt comfortable returning to work and she did and our lives got so much better.

Definitely plan on finding childcare soon. It is the only sane and right option unless you work out part time employment for at least one of you. [/quote]
