My wife wants to go back to work a month after delivery.

My wife wants to go back to work a month after delivery. Should I encourage her to or tell her to take more time with our newborn? I travel a lot and don't want my daughter suffering at such a tender age without one of us around most of the time. Do advise!

one of you should ideally be around the baby at this time, as your baby is really very small. whether or not it is your decision as a husband is different, but i support your concern as a father. also, 1 month is too early for your wife to get back to work. i am not sure she is fit to go to work and also care for the baby when she is back home. maybe speak to her and tell her what is bothering you.
