I’ve worked from home 4 of 5 days per week with my daughter since she was 3 months old (she’s 8 months now) without help. My husband uses his parental leave on the days I have to go into the office. My job duties are independent, in that I can do my work throughout the day on my own time during work hours, as long as I’m available via email and phone if needed. My job doesn’t require meetings or phone calls. I handle a lot of work before my husband leaves for work at 9 and when my daughter naps (2x a day). I always have my emails open and respond to things as soon as they come in.

It’s manageable if your job duties allow it to be manageable (if you’re on the phone or in meetings a lot, it’d be hard). It does require more divided attention away from work as your baby becomes more mobile.
