Launching this business has kept me busy pretty much 7 days per week! But thats been working from home and not having to do much in the way of childcare etc.
How many days can you comfortably manage away from baby?
Whats your secret?

Well, I am currently working 3 days a week, but with trying to fit in other activities on the other days (playgroup, a women's bible study, swimming lessons), and generally finding time to get the grocery shopping and housework done, I think I will only try 2 days a week when I go back to work after the next baby... After all, my kids are gorgeous, and I would rather spend time with them during the day when they are at their best, than let the daycare stuff have all the fun!

It depends if you are working for need of the money or just for yourself. I had to return to work when my son was 10 weeks old, 3 days per week. I hated it and dreaded leaving him but it had to be done. I went back full time when he was 6mths old but we were able to build our home. Never easy and i felt so guilty but he is a wonderful child.

Do what is right for you.

I currently work 5 days a week on average- it varies. My 2 kids go to daycare 4 days a week & are at home with DP on the weekends (if I am working).
Wish family lived closer.
