My stay at home is almost up my son is nearing 6 weeks and I am nearing getting back to work.  And I really don't want to leave my son I love watching everything he does and seeing him do new things and the cuddle time we get everyday because I chose to breastfeed.  Problem is I don't know if we can afford for me to stay home with him.  Does anyone have any ideas of ways that it might be possibly feasable.  I thought about going back part time on his dads days off but then I still miss out.  I am so emotionally torn I only have a minimum wage job to go back to and my materinty leave was unpaid so we are missing an income now and without savings and help from family we wouldnt be making it.  But I would still really like to be able to stay with him. Sad new mommy looking for advise on ways to help me stay home with my little man.
