I just had a baby two months ago and im 19 years old. I want to go back to school. when do you guys think is the appropriate time for me to go back to school and leave my baby with a babysitter. and for that matter, is it hard to go back to school after a baby?

That is really a personal decision. If you know the person you are leaving your baby with..then I would say whenever you feel up to going back to school..then go. If you have to hire a new babysitter..I would make sure to really do a good background check on the person..or the daycare you are going to leave the baby at. I know it will be hard to leave the baby the first couple of times. Just make sure you find someone you can really trust. Because this baby is your most prized possession.

what a great response. you are so right my baby is the most important thing in my life but its a double standard you know? I want to go back to school so i can provide him with whatever it is he will ever need or want, but on the flip side I'll miss him too much to pay attention well at least right now. anyways you get a + for this. Thanks

Is it possible for you to study by correspodence or online? That could be a good option for you.

Wow that’s great and god bless you and your new baby first thing first what I can suggest you is, it is a wonderful to have your own baby this is god’s blessing for you I thing you should spend maximum time with your child, baby sister can take care of your baby but it is better you to hang around with your baby so that you can build a solid bond between you and your baby so at list 8 to nine months you should stay with your baby The reason I’m telling you is I have 2 children my wife was not so bothered about my children when they were infants now my daughter is almost 4year and my son is 17months old, now they don’t go to my wife instead they look for me specially when they cry at night or any time if their mother try to console them they don’t go to her but they come to me. So please try to spend more time with your kid, about your studies you can study any time but if you ignore your baby you cannot have a solid bond with your child.
