[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most women wouldn't think twice about leaving an infant with a trusted grandparent who was loving and energetic, but the never-ending mom guilt makes us second-guess a qualified professional caregiver. As long as the person is nurturing and caring, talks to them frequently (in whatever language) and gives them plenty of stimulation through the day, it doesn't matter much who takes care of your baby. Unless you're working 12-hour days, they'll still have plenty of time to bond with you.[/quote] Why isn’t Dad or partner doing a paternity leave part of the equation? Are you a single parent? That was my transition back to work when it felt hard to leave baby. Leaving baby with Dad for several more months while you transition back to work is a whole different ballgame than immediately transitioning to professional care. Skip paternity and you’ll be on DCUM complaining about being a default parent in a few years, whether you SAM or WOH. [/quote]
