Hi All,
I'm in the midst of trying to plan my maternity leave and can't seem to get a straight answer from my Dr. I own a martial arts school, so bringing my baby to work means putting the baby around 75-100 people each day (mostly kids). When is it safe to bring the baby to work?
We have set up a nursery in a separate room at the school so can limit contact with the baby initially. I am planning on breastfeeding and also can't picture how breast-feeding and working work together.
Thanks for your help!

Re: Exposure to the outside world - when is it ok?
If I had an option I think I'd take 4 - 6 weeks off. Then go back part time.
As further comments mention-avoid the mall. Our dr said really bad for preemie.
I would say baby is okay at work but keep them more isolated and away from the kids until having their shots.
I terms of germs, I think if you have a separate room that would work. But keep in mind a high fever when a baby is less than three months can be serious and require a spinal tap.
Good luck!
