How long does it take to get back into the swing of things after mat leave? I’ve been back one month and feel like I’ve forgotten so much

Similar boat, I tell myself if something takes longer than it used to, it's part of my ramp up. I wonder if any of my time will get marked down but for now I keep my clock running and just try to be extra careful with things!

Remember, you still have a baby at home that needs a lot of your time and attention (not to mention whether you are pumping or co-feeding or whatever). So being back to work full time with child care doesn't mean you're really "back to normal" anyway.

I think everyone is different but for me, I didn’t feel like myself until after the 1 year mark which is also when I stopped breastfeeding/pumping so I always wonder if that had anything to do with it too. I feel more energized and like a fog lifted off my brain and that I could think clearer.
