Has anyone successfully worked from home while caring for their baby?

I go back to work tomorrow. I’m in tears just thinking of having to leave my 3 month old with strangers five days a week, missing all of his firsts and precious time with him I’ll never get back. I also REALLY don’t want to fork out $30K for childcare (HCOL area in the US).

My job is super flexible so I’m going to at least try to wfh while caring for him. But all I see are posts about how it’s absolutely impossible. Has anyone successfully done it?

Please share your stories and any tips if you have them.
