@eric1844 Also an attorney. I work from home and baby goes to daycare until my husband picks him up on his way back home from work.
My hours are 8 am -6 pm with over 200 cases.
Basically, our day to day looks like this:
Wake up at 6:30. Nurse baby and change his night diaper out for a regular day diaper. I put him at his activity mat for play while I prep his daycare bag. If we have time, I sit on the floor and play with him or we snuggle.
Leave for daycare by 7:15 am. Arrive at 7:30 am and get home for work at 7:45 am. Log in at 8.
Work my butt off until husband brings baby home which might be 3-4 or even 5 pm. As soon as baby comes through the door, I feed him and we change his diaper again. I play with him or snuggle him. He usually takes a brief nap or plays with Dad until I'm off for sure.
Most of the time, once the baby comes through the door, I'm doing work from my phone and either playing with baby or snuggling him while he naps on me (everything in our office is digital so no paper and everything can be done anywhere). I delegate, delegate, delegate, and review.
Baby is asleep by 7:30/8 pm and we snuggle. While he sleeps, I'll go through work chats or tasks and complete the ones I can. Otherwise, I will watch TV or play Breath of the Wild.
On weekends, I am 100% focused on baby and family. My firm really stresses a healthy work-life balance and all the big attorneys in the firm have children of their own, including babies, so they get it.
We also only work four days a week, so on my weekday off, I put baby to daycare and take my me time (because, otherwise, I literally get none).
