Working mummies! Planning (want) to go back to work after maternity leave?

I want and plan to go back to work 8 weeks after I give birth (and use my remaining maternity leave for whenever my LO needs me). But all infant care near my area is full!!! 😭 Ah well, looks like will have to discuss abt the plan with hubby again... Working mummies! How are your plans for returning to work (or not) after maternity leave, and what did you do to mitigate the problems that blocked them?

I took the full 4 months and additional NPL till 6 months as I cldn't bear to leave my boy at home even though my mom took care of him since. It's much easier to go back work once baby starts to sleep throughout the night and started baby food too cz by then he wld not be relying so much on b'feeding. Still felt as tho I didnt have much time with baby but what to do, work beckons. As a teacher i also need to time my leave and only begin work at the start of the term. Currently pregnant with no. 2 and I will do the same.
