at that point it's not really her taking care of the baby anymore. she could then focus on work.
without that support though. tough call.
strictly because the baby is a new born. i think the age and timing should factor in to weather she can totally focus on the job and take care of a new born. if she had a 3 year old or a 9 year old it would not even be a question as far as i'm concerned.
just bad timing is all really.
