  • Are you planning to return to work, or are you already back?
  • Concerned that hours away from baby will harm your attachment?
  • Feeling a bit confused or overwhelmed with how to choose a caregiver for baby?

Participants in this session will be able to:

  • Identify your values for what your baby experiences while you work
  • Compare benefits of different types of care
  • Learn how to choose what feels right for you
  • Create routines that work for you and your baby
