I could have never gone back at 6! DH works out of town and is only here a couple days a week so it makes things just that much harder... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickening-out#post-353166 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 22:18:24 +0000 matador84 353166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie I might do that...I can't figure out if I want to send him with formula this week or what little milk I have stored. I was kind of hoping if I sent him with formula just this week I could pump at home and still nurse when he is here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickening-out#post-353153 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 22:00:27 +0000 brownie 353153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: Since you are home, can you go to his daycare extra times and nurse him there? We did this for a while until the stash worked it's way up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickening-out#post-353146 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 21:52:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 353146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awww!! I'm so sorry!! sending you some love. That is so hard I remember when DS hit 12 weeks and I thought, if I was a working mom, I would be having to leave him right now and I started crying thinking about it!!! I cannot imagine being in your position. You are so strong!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chickening-out#post-353133 Sun, 21 Oct 2012 21:29:36 +0000 matador84 353133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go back to work on the 29th and DS will be 8 weeks old. I signed him up for daycare a week before I go back so he and I could get used to it. I was going to put him in a few hours each day and build up...but I'm chickening out!! I love having him home with me so I'm keeping him tomorrow. I think some of my anxiety also stems from him being EBF and I feel like I have hardly a stash built up at all for daycare. Anyone else ever felt the same? Boo! </p>
