Hello grapevine moms, any tips on how to balance work and an infant?

Hi guys, I'm joining the office next month after my 6 month maternity. It's just me and my hubby for now.. so any tips on how to do this efficiently..?

Congratulations on this new phase of life! Not a mom but sharing from our experience.

Do not be harsh on yourselves. Parenting is an exhausting, no shame in it. Dont try to be ‘efficient’ in your initial few weeks of resuming work. Take it easy.

Its 100% true that it takes a village to raise a child. Don’t hesitate to ask for help from parents or in-laws. If they cant be with you, look for alternatives.

When you try to be perfect in everything, always remember parenting is a marathon not a sprint. Dont overkill yourself by doing everything perfectly.

All the best.
