My baby is also kept in 育嬰院 for 6 months. And now, he is 8 months old. At the beginning, it is a very hard time to me. I need take the bus to 育嬰院 and then go to office. After office hour, I also need go to 育嬰院 and take the baby go home by bus. Everyday is a busy day.
But luckily, my husband can give me a big hand. In the night time, my husband and me has a shift. One is responsible for 23:00 p.m to 3:00 am. And then the other one will take a sleep deeply. After 3:00 am. , we exchange the job to make sure we can take a good sleep for several hours. And this situation is maintain about 2 months.
