flexible working has been agreed in principle, just need to sort the practical. wooohooooo. prob not practical to start until mid june though
BB still haveng nowt to do with bottles or beakers, so getting into panic mode! Have ordered some NUK and playtex bottles and teats that are apparently closer to bf. In a fortnight I have a 24 hour shift!!
I do hope they can sort out something that will suit you.
BB’ll probably drink out of something if she’s desperate. Not much fun for anyone though
Good news about the work situation – have never had to leave a bf babe myself and would have hated to be stressed about feeding so really hope the nuk bottles work for you all.
I’ve done the leaving babe, and it’s a whole load of no fun…but I think, like Jan, that she’ll drink if she wants to.
aargh.. screaming upstairs…brb
Hope everything’s okay Jax….
Really pleased for you about the flexible working; I can imagine that it will take some getting used to for all of you (and probably you most, Helen)but I must confess to having career envy!!
The work-life balance is a tricky thing and although I *love* what I’m doing now, I have half an eye to a future when it’s practical with our family set-up for me to think careers.
Good luck- lots of exciting changes happening at you house
I think 3 days work is fairly ideal for me. not manageable for work so gone for 4. my clinical director fought hard on my behalf – tankyou v much! poss ‘cos a mother too she was more receptive.
I do love my career, but it wasn’t a very good choice family wise iyswim!
i think i have been lucky though having someone fight my corner
oops sorry, forgot to come back.
Just standard lots of children small space screaming, everything fine
