Bringing babies to work is a great concept, but the one thing I struggle to come to terms with is how do you keep skilled mothers in the workplace if they are distracted by screaming babies?

But it's important to acknowledge that employees who work at home still need to find childcare. Of course there may be an emergency such as a snow day or illness, but most employees find that it is unrealistic to combine work with childcare. Hi Lisa,

There definately needs to be a better balance between work/family to keep skilled mothers in the workforce, any little step in the right direction should be embraced.

And the Statement that over 100 companies allow that...its just a play of words. Over 100 companies, means that almoust anyone allows that. Its like saying that over 100 people voted for Arnold out of 1.000.000. So that means that nobody has voted. The Best things is to not mix things, like work and baby. Childcare its hard work as it is, we have so many babies that don`t get enough attention as it is, with a full time mom. People are not meant to raise a baby and work in the same time. Just try to keep your baby happy and don`t worry about anything else, a proper diet, baby vitamins and so on. Taking you baby to work with you is a bit to much.

I would be interested in hearing how your workplace moved from their reservations to support for this idea. It seems that one of the sticking points is the idea that it will be too disruptive to everyone, but it doesn't seem that is the case. We'd love to hear more!

We had reservations initially, but have found that there are numerous benefits for our business as well as the mothers. We are in the UK, and our workplace fully supports the concept.
