Returning to work - the guilt!

In returning to FT work in about 4 weeks after a year off. I can’t shake the guilt. I wouldn’t mind but this is the second time I’ve done it 😅 just feel so bad this time round. I’ve been breastfeeding so not sure if that’s contributing. Any advice or anyone felt the same 🥹

I'm going through it right now myself, I only have one more week and then I'm back at work. It's breaking my heart. Sending you all the love ❤️

Same over here, posted about it a little while ago too 😓 really really don’t want to go back 😔

I went back on Monday to a new job aswell it’s not been too bad but the guilt is horrendous luckily my LG loves her childminder so there’s no tears when I drop her off x

Sorry you’re going through it too ladies, so difficult isn’t it?! Just feel the guilt in every fibre. I know we’ll get used to it eventually but struggling to see how she’ll be without me 🥹

The only thing I would say is my LG has stopped taking milk from a bottle either formula or expressed breast which has worried me but I’ve spoken to a breastfeeding specialist and they have said it can quite normal as she adapts as long as she’s feeding normally when I’m with her x

@Hannah Oh really? Ok, that’s good to know in case. Trying to get down to 3/4 feeds atm, morning, day x1/2 then night so it’s not too much of a drop. We’ll see, I’ll be giving nursery expressed in case she does take x
