Welcome her back with her favorite morning beverage, and be sure to help clear space for her to ease back in- coming in a little late and leave a little early. It can take a bit to transition back to work and include daycare in the mix. Also, agree with above, be specific and ask how you can help. And pulling together a short summary of where key things are at so she can dive back in.
Ask. Rather than assuming . It will help her more than she knows if she can clarify expectations up front. And change them if it becomes necessary
Thanks for the advice! She’s also a friend, so we’ve informally chatted about what’s been going on - but you’re right - I definitely should provide an overview of all of the biggest changes on paper for her.
^Definitely ask what she needs to ease back in BUT also outline the things you think she should know (she can’t know everything that happened while she was out, so she won’t know to ask). I had a very rough transition period when my boss came back - instead of coming to me to catch up, ask questions, get up to speed, she would fire an email out to the world and caused mass confusion for everyone that was 10 steps ahead of her. There were many things she said she didn’t care to be copied on while she was gone, but man did that backfire when she wanted a full rundown of 3 months’ worth of happenings. Good luck!
Put a couple pictures of her new baby on her desk. It's a small thing, but something I really appreciated when I came back to work!
Bring her up to speed and make her feel included but go easy the first week. It’s going to be the worst week of her life but she’ll want to immediately feel like her time away from baby is well spent. When i came back i had nothing to do the first two days and it was torture
