Back to Work After Baby? Do This First (For Moms & Dads)
Returning to work after parental leave can feel overwhelming, whether you’re a new mom, dad, or caregiver. In this video, I share practical tips and heartfelt encouragement to help you navigate the transition with confidence. From managing emotions and balancing work-life demands to advocating for your needs at work, you’ll find real-life advice to make your return smoother and more empowering.
Parental Rights to Know:
In the U.S., under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, while keeping their job protected.
Many states and countries have additional parental leave protections, check your state or country’s labor website to know your rights. For breastfeeding parents, U.S. law requires employers to provide reasonable break time and a private, non-bathroom space for pumping breast milk at work.
