I am currently on mat leave with my first. I'm planning on returning to work full time at the beginning of October, my DP is then taking over her care full time.
I have a while, but I'm already worried about being away from her and the effect this may have on our relationship and bond. It would be great to hear other people's experiences and coping strategies they employed. For example, someone has suggested increasing the amount of time away from her in the lead up so she gets used to me not being there.
I am probably over thinking it and she'll be absolutely fine, but it must be a shock to babies to go from being with the same person all day every day to another, Albeit their dad. Oh, she'll be 7 months when I go back to work.
Thanks
