Please no judgement.
I am 24 years old, just had my second child and she is turning 8 weeks,I have my children 24/7 and do everything for them of course!
im a self employed cleaner and wanting to go back to work 4 hour Monday and 3 hours on a Friday to have a little extra cash to help out with todays prices of things and to also have that away time to creat me again!
should I feel bad for wanting to do this and leaving my baby with my daughters nan for a few hours! My baby is formula fed and is like clock work for her feeds! Should I be made to feel guilt for this decision and that it’s not normal. I just want to do what’s best for me mentally and to be able to have that little extra to get my kids treats if needed or to save for a rainy day!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

So you'll leave your baby with her Granny.

Perfect solution.

It sounds absolutely fine. She is formula fed, so it’s practically fairly easy. It gives you a break and some extra money and means you can retain your existing clients. Sounds great. It’s only 7 hours a week. There are plenty of mums leaving their babies at the gym crèche to go for a yoga class that many hours a week.
