Work from Home with Baby part time

I will be going back to work shortly, and my baby will be 3 months old. We had a sudden unexpected change in our childcare plan (grandparent was planning to retire to watch baby, but cannot financially afford to do so now) and we had to find childcare on short notice. Unfortunately, the care that can get us in only has part time available. My son will be in daycare 3 days a week, and at home with me the remaining 2.

We cannot hire in home care, as we have a stranger reactive dog in the house.

I've seen a recommendation of "stations" set up around the house to cycle the baby through during their wake windows. I am in meetings a decent chunk of the day, and while i have an understanding job, I definitely need to keep LO occupied if possible while I'm on calls. What would you all recommend? I currently have a playmat in their nursery set up for tummy time, a swing, and their bassinet for naps.

Mom/baby or postpartum groups?

Does anyone know of postpartum groups or mom/baby groups around the city? I'm a first time mom who needs some mom friends. I haven't been able to find anything consistent in my area, and the local library only seems to offer mom/baby days sporadically.

​

I'm hoping to find some other people going through this same walk of life as me, as all my other friends are child free at this time.
