If you’ll be returning to work soon, these tips can help with the transition: • Plan a few “dress rehearsals.” Try leaving your baby with your childcare provider for a couple hours (with a bottle of breast milk—or formula if you aren’t nursing). • Consider asking your employer about returning part-time for the first 6 months (if this would work for your family). • If you’re returning full-time, ask about starting on a Thursday or Friday to ease into the schedule. | | | | Disclaimer: This page is not intended to provide medical advice about your child.
