Some new mothers will not be able to stay at home with their babies for long. They may have to return to their jobs after three or four months. Both the mothers and the babies will have to learn to live with each other for 8 to 10 hours of the day. Here are some things you can do to prepare yourself and your baby:
Before you join work, start leaving the baby for sometime with the child minder.
Begin with a few hours and gradually increase the number of hours you leave the baby with child minder.
You could even give yourself a trial run of traveling back to work. This will give you confidence that you can travel again.
These physical separations will help both the mother and the baby once the mother returns to work.
It will give the baby time to get to know and adjust to the child minder.
