How can I?

My mom has gone in for minor surgery so my mil is minding little joe for 3 hours he's 11weeks today, and I can't handle being away from him I don't know how I'm going to go back to work?

My dh works 60hour weeks so it's always just me and baba.
I'm lost without him

It does get easier. Also keeping busy while away from baby helps.

Your feelings will change as he gets older. Do you have to go back soon? At 3 months old, I could imagine ever leaving my first. At a year it was still hard but doable and now at 2.5, I love seeing how much she enjoys nursery and don't mind leaving her much at all.

I'm not back to work until September I kept my holidays and used them in my maternity leave.

I felt like a huge part of me was missing

Its HARD at first I know... it wasn't until DD1 was over a year before I felt more at ease about leaving her with my MIL... but even then I kept worrying about her.
But when they're so young its really hard even for just an hour.. its like you're dying to get back to them.

I had to go back at 6 weeks...our LO are the same age my husband watches him at home a couple days a week, and sends me pictures/ lets me know how he is doing. We also have an awesome app called Total Baby...makes me feel more connected to know when he ate last/how he is doing. Also helps to have video of him on my phone for when I pump at work.
It's tough, but it's a pretty quick adjustment. Miss my little guy a lot, but coming home is pretty sweet

I feel this way too! My mom watches my son once a week overnight until we get a sleep pattern going. I feel like the house is empty.
