Is it possible to WFH with an infant?

Question

Hi, I will be delivering soon and utilizing 4 months of ML in one shot, and thus returning to work after the baby is 4 months old. My office is fine for me to WFH, and my parents are also fine to help take care of the baby at their place. Could you help to share what your post ML arrangements and experience is like? Im not sure how much disruption to expect from the baby - if I can take care of the baby from home I will want to do so for as long as possible so I may latch; if not Im not sure how and when to best transition the baby to the grandparents house - Ill probably need to burn some annual leave to let the baby get used to spending time away from home. Any advice will be extremely helpful, thank you in advance!#FTWM #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls
