I want to go back to work after delivering my child, but my mother in laws says I should stay home and take care of my child. I do agree with her that for a certain period of time I should be home with my child but when is an appropriate time to leave my child to go back to work?

I went back after 3 months. Saved some ML in case baby sick. I think sometimes infant care is definitely doing a better job than me at taking care of her. Got structured prog etc. Its not easy for me to cope with pumping at work, picking her up on time from infant care and meeting deadlines. But I dont want to sacrifice on the income too.
