Any mummies who intend to go back to workforce after 2 months of giving birth bring their newborn to interview? Does the interviewer mind?

i guess u can go ahead but may just be mentally prepared that this will not look professional in front of the interviewers and may decrease your chance of getting short listed

i see. but will they still continue with the interview? lo nvr cry during the period? or they will not say much w u and say will contact u again?

yes they continue. But they didn't contact me back in the end. Oh well.

Would not recommend it. As a hiring manager it would be very distracting. It’s a different thing if you were already with the company.

Unless the company is fully supportive of mothers with babies, it is not advisable to bring a young baby to an interview

Where do you stay and how old is baby? Maybe I can help look after a couple of hours for you to go for interview.

i have not given birth yet.

Dear mum, I would suggest to get your family member or any help to take care of the baby while you are interviewing

Hi... I would suggest that you get someone to help look after your baby during the interview.

I would suggest not to bring. It will become a distraction and may affect the interview.
