hi mommy! as long as you are financially, physically, emotionally and mentally stable, you can start working full time after. only you have the answer to this. i quit my full-time job, took a month break after my maternity leave then started working full-time again. but i knew many who wants to focus on their babies until the baby reaches 18 months old and you can start sending them for preschool playgroup. honestly, if you can afford it, i would strongly suggest you to take care of your baby until 18 months old. alternatively, you may consider part time work from home jobs.
