Hi looking for a bit of help!!!

 

Ive been back at work for two months after being off for a year and a half maternity leave and having post natal depression.  Im enjoying being at work but Im worried that my baby isnt getting enough one on one when she is at nursery (she goes full time)

She always looks forward to going but I feel really guilty at the thought of her being left when Ive been with her constantly for the past 18 months

Please, any advice would be appreciated.  I dont have any woman in my family and things between my inlaws have been strained since I had the baby due to various different things

 

Thnks xx

Hi

If you feel she's not getting enough 1-2-1 attention, why don't you look into a child minder? I had a fabulous CM from when DD was 4months-2yr4m. She's now moved to a dif. CM as she's due to start nursery in the local area.

I think we'll always feel guilty that we're not doing well enough, but if she seems happy, try not to worry too much.

Good luck!
Liz
