[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working full time while caring for a baby works for certain babies up until a certain age. Would not have worked for my non napping baby that was also a slow feeder. And when the pandemic hit when she was 12 months my DH and I almost lost our minds trying to work out FT jobs with no child care. Everyone was better off when her daycare reopened.[/quote]

You must be more capable than me! I don't think caring for a baby full time with a full time job works at all unless your job is super chill and flexible. Or your  baby can just lie there doing nothing for a long time. I did the whole baby care during COVID thing with DH and ended up just doing all my work at night.[/quote]

No, I think we are the same. I just know people that claim they could do it. I could not. I have to believe their babies were just very different from mine. Or they can work while breastfeeding maybe?[/quote]

Hm I can see that getting a little messy lol. And kind of nice to have a free hand that's not typing...[/quote]

Right? There was no way for me. And my job IS super chill and flexible. But it also requires deep thinking and mental energy and I cannot do that on no sleep.[/quote]
