Will my baby lose their bond with me if I return to work?

It is completely normal to feel anxious about returning to work, but your baby will not forget you or diminish their bond with you. Infants are capable of forming secure attachments to multiple caregivers, including nannies and grandparents, which is actually a sign of healthy development. When you are home, prioritize quality time by putting away your phone and focusing entirely on your child; they will recognize your presence and cherish that special connection regardless of how much time you spend away during the day.
