"Research and make sure you make the best possible baby choice you can! As soon as I was pregnant I wanted to stay home, so we made a plan to do it!"
What was your primary motivation for deciding to return (or not) to work? How early did you tell your employer?
Reach out for help when I needed it! People are there but you have to ask!
FOR MOMS: If you breastfed, was there a place for you to pump that met your needs and was conducive to your success? If you breastfed, how did you decide to continue? FOR DADS: What, if any, adjustments did you (or your workplace) make to your schedule after having a baby? Was it specific to your manager or larger, whole work culture?
I couldn’t breastfeed so I pumped and formula fed.
How much leave did you take, and how comfortable were you taking it?
I had planned to take 12 weeks originally! But then just stayed home!!!
