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!

A month is actually too early to be back at work, which is why there are 16 weeks of maternity leave. Giving birth is taxing on the body and proper rest is needed. However, if she has made up her mind and can't be convinced, do ensure your baby is placed in safe hands with reliable caregivers.
