Hey everyone
Just to summarise - DS 8 months old, I’ll be returning to work 2/3 days per week when he’s 1 months. My husband walked out a few weeks before he was born.
I worked shift work before I had him but have changed this to working 8-5pm to fit around childcare. My ex husband works a 10 day rotating shift pattern so his days off change every week.
Any advice how I manage childcare? I need set days at nursery's to fit around my job (my ex has been very inconsistent and unreliable with contact so far) but say if we agree he has our son on his 1st/2nd day off, this will regularly fall on nursery days that I’ve arranged to cover my work.
I’m concerned that the chopping and changing of him going to nursery some weeks/others not will mean he’ll take a long time to settle in.
Anyone been in a similar situation or able to offer advice/solutions to make this as smooth as possible for DS?
