Working Mothers: How Did/do You Cope With Being Separated From Your Minors by rully2: 1:56pm On Jul 22, 2017 |
Hello great NL moms. This thread is for working moms who inevitably have to work and be separated from their babies at a very tender age, some as early as 3months ![]() ![]() How did u cope or are you coping?? I am a first time mom with a 15months cute baby girl. I had to stop working even before she was born to prepare well for her coming and I have not gone back to work ever since because I want to play my part in the best way possible. Now due to personal family issues beyond me I need to return to work meaning I would need to enrol my child in a daycare. I am scared to death!!! I need some tips and inspirations from mothers who are or have been in this situation. I want to hear the best and the worst. I need to know what to look out for when fixing her in a daycare, how to protect my baby girl even in my absence, how to ensure she is protected from abusers and how to cope with the anxiety of working an 8-6 job while your little one is away in the care of another ![]() ![]() Please do not judge or preach about how i should personally care for my child at home, like a lot of other mothers out there I would have if I could but sadly this is the only option I have for now. |

Op, I completely understand. My daughter is also young, I too resigned cos of same reasons. I don't have a solution yet. I need directions from God cos I can't bring house help because of my own experiences when I was a child. I have been to several day cares, non suffices. I wouldn't say I am paranoid but I do know not all mothers feel this way so I don't discuss it. 1 Like |

I dropped my baby in the creche at 3months plus close to my office while I go to breast feed her by 12 and return to the office At one year 2month I keep her in a creche close to the house because stress was telling on both of us. Thanks to God for 7months that I have been keeping her there, there has not been complaints. Sis, commit everything into God's hand, he will watch over our angel, make sure you provide her with all she needs, return before the deadline, care for her caregiver, let them know you'll come a bit late and make provision for that. Above all pray and trust God to keep her. Don't forget to investigate the creche, don't be in haste to drop her in any creche, pray and be observant when you go to make enquiry, ask questions, survey the environment. 2 Likes |

I resigned and started a business. I'm sure I will be thinking of my baby all day at work and lose concentration. Leaving your child for someone you barely know, you don't know how good their hygiene is, you don't know if they share your baby's stuffs(spoon,cup ,handkerchief etc) ,your kid isn't the only one there so don't expect them to attend to him/her immediately even if the child is hungry or hurting ![]() OK maybe not as bad as I envisioned it ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

15months old baby is strong nah,as someone said, commmit your child into God's hand and survey the environment too.Look out for parents whose wards attend that same creche and make enquiries from them too.I always believe that in as much you need to be there for your child, you also need finance to cater for her needs. 1 Like |
