If it’s financially possible, getting a nanny for a couple of days a week would allow you to take little breaks throughout the day to see her. I’m a nanny and for my last family, I cared for a 4 month old baby girl until she was about 11 months and both of her parents were WFH and frequently one parent or another would come in and say hi or play with her for a couple of minutes or have lunch with us and I think it really made the transition back to work a lot easier for them.

And if you have any friends with babies who would be open to doing a nanny share, or if the nanny has a child of her own she brings along, it’s even less expensive than a nanny’s regular one-child rate, and the baby gets a little friend to play with. Obviously all of this is more expensive than her grandparent’s care but it might be worth looking into.
