#mommytakeover ; post 4;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Working momma;- ; Going to bed late , getting up early , running sometimes , and sometimes getting irritated because of fusy Eater , suddenly baby throws a bomb ;tantrum just when your about to leave for an urgent meeting , maids are not available , the backups are not well.. and this goes on..but trust me all this gets resolve one by one ,and when u get use to It it is worth being proud of your efforts . ; ; ;
Its not easy to be a working mom and its honestly not that difficult too.;;;;;;;;;;;;;; The thing is you need to keep focusing on changing requirement ,manage accordingly..change strategies as per the requirement.;;The first delimma is wheather to go back to work or not after having baby,,, this u need to ask yourself .. every women has dream and you have all right to go for your aspirations. ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
In my case it was just impossible for me to think of work..when my baby was born too early , secondly I had no idea who was my backup ;but when I got opportunity I thought to give a chance ..by arranging things in advance , I made a trial and it worked . I gave interview on the date of first birthday of my baby as it was scheduled that day.; I indeed cursed ;myself whole day , but my Lucky charm was following me..my father in law was great pillar for me..he took my babys care in absence of me..and till the time we found nany for around two months..my baby always need extra care being preemie..which was really tuff. But this accomplished and now my nany is trained well.
Mommies ,If your thinking to join back ...;;You need to work ;on following -
1.firstly who is your backup -. Your parents /in-laws / nanny/ day care .; See to it how you can do best to monitor the ;care taker if you have kept and Or day care staff. Cctv is one best option for that . If you have in-laws or parents at ;home best keep a care taker and let them monitor.Train your nanny before going to work and check how she is performing ,correct her if required.
;2.Fix babys schedule in advance ..(although -this is ;the tuffest .as it depends on age ) , nap, food time, food ,fruits etc to feed ,play time ,games ..communicate this clearly to care taker so that there is no problem to baby in your absence . ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
3. motivate your inlwas or any one by taking them on treat, showing interest in things they like etc,appreciating them so that they feel cheerful doing babys work not ;as burden.;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;4 . Balance - if you have care taker and inlwas both at home.. balance it because sometimes there will be unnecessary complaints from both ends ,your really need to be diplomatic and remember you need both parties in your absence for your baby ..so keep that in mind and resolve any issue :).;; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
;;5. Quality time for baby -bath,maasage and give two morning mid morning feed if possible to baby and then go to office because it makes u feel satisfied as a mother ..and guilt free of leaving your baby . ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
6. Rest;;;late evening ,night feeds take in your hand to monitor babys eating schedule well.
;;7. Meaningful plays - guide your caretaker about toys rotation, plays to be engaged for your child for his overall growth ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
8 hyegeine - check hyegeine levels personally , because sometimes due to giving all work to maids we forget checking and if they ignore , germs flaot which welcomes diseases ..avoid it by fixing it on weekends. ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
9. sterlize utensils in advance for earlier months..and keep in air tight container and go office ..it will keep utensils safe. ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
10. Avoid bottle feeding completely once baby is 8-9 month,;train you nany for cup feeding..spoon ..either. ; ;
;11. Quality time and bonding - its worth spending quality time with baby then spending much time without engaging them well. Learn about things (which m still learning:) activities of your babys age and you and your partner spend time with baby for his learning ..it really helps ..and doesn't interupts babys development on your absence. ; ; Lastly . I would just say believe in you mama...you have super power so ;you can do it and balance baby ,work and home . ; ;
My salute to all stay home moms because of several reasons they have to give up their dreams for bringing baby up..but that's the tuffest trust me :);
