Sending baby to IFC

Hi I'm a FTM and unemployed throughout my whole pregnancy journey. It is difficult to have only a single income for the family. So I've started applying for jobs, going for interviews since I gave birth. Lucky me, i've got offer! Another problem is I have to send my baby to infant care - going to 4 months. I'm starting to get worried and regretting so much going back to work. Is everything going to be ok?

Congratulations on getting a job offer! It's completely understandable to feel worried about sending your baby to infant care, especially after being with them all the time. It's normal to have these concerns, but with the right support and preparation, everything will be okay. Firstly, it's essential to find a reliable and trustworthy infant care center for your little one. Make sure to visit the facility, talk to the caregivers, and ask about their routines and policies. This will help ease your worries knowing that your baby is in good hands while you're at work. Additionally, try to establish a routine for both you and your baby. This will help create a sense of predictability and stability for your little one, which can make the transition to infant care smoother. Spend quality time with your baby during the mornings and evenings, and cherish the weekends together. Remember to take care of yourself too. Balancing work and motherhood can be challenging, so don't hesitate to ask for help from family, friends, or even consider hiring a babysitter if needed. Overall, it's normal to have mixed feelings about returning to work, but with the right preparation and support system, everything will work out just fine. You're doing great, and your baby will thrive in infant care with your love and care guiding them. Best wishes on this new chapter in your journey as a working mom! https://invl.io/cll6she
