Going back to work...please help!

addrianna

So I see myself getting very depressed because on Nov. 1st I am going back to work (full-time). My baby will be 3 months old and I have her so use to me. I have 4 other kids (16, 13, 11, and 7) I was a SAHM and never had to leave my kids before...UGH. I adore my babysitter, she's great but I still wonder will my baby get attention, will she be sad, will she be able to cope with me not being there. I breastfeed her and will be pumping, I feel stressed, upset and very sad. Girl words of WISDOM please!!!!
