There is an art to using a baby sling. They are not as easy as they look, but definitely worth the adjustment period once the wearer gets the hang of it. Provide your caregiver with favorite music from home. If a live performance is preferred, supply your caregiver with the words to your baby's favorite tunes and lyrics.

Separation anxiety is a reality, for both mother and baby.
It's unavoidable because the bond between a mother and a baby is a strong one. For many working mothers, envisioning the happy reunion at the end of a shift is what keeps them motivated throughout the day. Kelly Kilmer from State College, Pennsylvania was blessed with the loving support of her husband when she worked full-time after their first child was born. Kelly was able to go to work with baby in tow during half the week, and her husband worked from home the other half of the week while caring for their daughter. This father was so supportive of the nursing relationship that he would bring the baby to Kelly s work to nurse when she had bouts of bottle refusal.
