Poll for Working Parents: How Soon After Baby Did You Return to Work?

I recently returned from my maternity leave and find myself adjusting to life as a new working mother. My business partner, Melinda, is also a new working mother. I must admit that I’ve gained a newfound respect for parents, and certainly those juggling career and babies all at once!

I wanted to ask you working mothers and fathers out there how long you waited to return to work after you had your baby/babies? Why did you choose that amount of time for your leave? And how to you “make it work” and juggle career and family every day?

With baby #1 I was off 4 weeks full time and 4 weeks half time. With baby #2 (about 3 years later) I was off of work for 6 weeks. The key was finding a good sitter that was flexible if I had to work late.
