infant care is the best option during our time. I have 2 kids and both went infant care after my 3 months of maternity leave. they will get use to it after some time. falling sick is part and parcel of growing up. you don't have to give up your job to have kids. some people speak very lightly about how people nowadays just give birth but refuse to give up their work to take care of the kid. I just want to assure you that having kids is only part of the marriage and motherhood life. Some chose to give up their jobs and be SAHM. That's their choice. You don't have to be swayed by others. It's your child, you decide. I chose to continue working because I am confident that I am able to juggle both career and family at the same time, of course with the help of my husband. We don't have a helper for the same concern that you husband had. Now my kids are 10yo and 5yo, they are much easier to manage. Though other types of challenges come with kids of these ages. I never regret not giving up my career to look after the kids. I think also because we didn't have much help from either side of the parents, our kids remained very close to us till today. And our careers are at our personal peak as well. So, you just need to assess the kind of support system you have around you and make your decision accordingly.
