A few weeks in, finding it difficult to concentrate and follow in meetings. Is cotton wool brain normal and will it get better?

Yes its normal (especially if your baby is reacting to you going back to work by being more clingy/waking more at nights) and yes it does get better - give it another month or so and all will settle down.

It does get better!

I had this when I went back. When you're on maternity your mind works in different ways- nappies, naps, milk etc and when you're at work you have so much more going on and so much more to consider and things happening out of the blue.

It gets much much better..... And then you get pregnant again...... Well I did!

It does get better, some days I don't even have time to think about my DC .

Very normal and as people have said it does improve with time. You've had a lot to get used to recently!
