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!

I would really encourage her to maximize her maternity leave and spend it with the baby. Yes, she might be missing work but work will always be there but the bonding she can have with your child on the days she will rest, feed the baby and just be with baby is priceless.
