So there's a gap of about six weeks. Plan A is me working from home with our son in the next room, with family covering a couple of days a week. My job is mostly remote anyway, plus the odd evening production call. On paper it sounds fine. Did anyone manage this with a baby this small, or did you end up working at night?
My partner tried a version of this when our daughter was small. It worked on the days she slept and on no other days 🤷 The calls are the problem, not the work. Work you can move to nap time. A call you can't.
Calls are exactly what worries me. Most of mine are planned, so I could push them to evenings when my partner is home. It's the unplanned ones. Did your partner tell the team, or just keep the camera off?

Different line of work, but I ran our order planning from home with my first one. I told the regular customers straight away and they were kinder than I expected. Camera off and hoping nobody hears a baby is more stress than just saying it once. Six weeks also goes faster than it sounds.
Keep going
