then maybe. But she will still be a distraction to co-workers and clients/customers who are there.

The lack of parental leave and workplace flexibility is truly criminal, but taking an infant to the workplace isn't the solution. At one month she may well be sleeping most of the daylight hours, but that will change over time. And how about when she starts moving on her own, crawling, then walking? How are you going to work then?
