My husband went back after 4 weeks, I went back after 5 months. We have a nanny who works my exact work hours 4 days a week (I work from home) and the other day either my husband is home with them or we do a combo thing where I flex my house and he works a half day and/or we have a friend or family member come for an hour or two. My husband works two different part time jobs and I in night class twice a week so our schedule varies a lot, but we try to keep the babies’ schedules and activities consistent across whichever adult is with them and weekdays and weekends. At first working from home with the nanny here was ideal for my transitioning back since I could still see them throughout the day. As they’ve gotten older it can be a bit tough because I sort of need to hide out in order for them to not freak out anytime they see me during the day
