3 Tips for a Smooth Transition After Maternity Leave
Whether you’re returning to work or transitioning to childcare, get into the swing of your new routine with baby.
-
Try a trial run
Practice your new morning routine a few times before you start back at work. It will take the pressure off the big day and let you smooth out kinks in advance.
-
Pack a mom-friendly tote
Keep a removable bag in your work tote with a lightweight breast pump, extra nursing pads—for unexpected meetings—and plenty of healthy snacks.
-
Go easy on yourself
Every mom’s transition is different. Establish what works for you, be patient with yourself, prioritize self-care once a week, and celebrate every small success.
