working mums

The pumping at work took a while to get used to. I also had to rush down to pick up my lo in infant care after work and to bath her immediately when I reached home. She took a while to get used to infant care too. I chose to put my lo in infant care after weighing all the options. She can get to socialise and play more in infant care than at home (if it’s with a helper or grandparents who will be busy with other stuff). The downside is the falling sick part. I was heartbroken but I see it as part and parcel of building a stronger immunity.
