Working Parents Plan Infant Care for Work Travel
If your job requires travel after a baby, line up a dependable caregiver and ask about on-site nursing space before you go.

Hong Kong actress Priscilla Wong flew to Malaysia for a screen project with her infant son, Siu Haha, as she returned to work after giving birth. Her husband, Edwin Siu, stayed in Hong Kong preparing for a Guangzhou stop of a concert tour and posted a note saying he missed them.
Why it matters
Wong's trip shows how a working parent can keep a newborn close during a return to set, with a Malaysia-based friend handling childcare on the ground. For families weighing how to balance a career with infant care, the arrangement highlights that a production can build a mother-and-baby room and that a parent may need to travel with a baby.
Wong took her infant son Siu Haha on her first major shoot since giving birth, and the production set up a dedicated mother-and-baby room on set. Malaysia-based friend Debbie Goh helped with childcare while Wong worked.
The players
Priscilla Wong
Hong Kong actress who returned to work after giving birth, taking her infant son on a Malaysia screen project.
Edwin Siu
Hong Kong singer and actor who stayed behind to prepare for a Guangzhou concert tour stop.
The details
Wong began her postpartum return to work by flying to Malaysia for a screen project and brought her infant son along rather than leaving him in Hong Kong. Because she was missing her son and did not want to be separated from him, the production arranged a mother-and-baby room where she could nurse between takes. Childcare support came from a friend in Malaysia, Debbie Goh, while Wong was on set. Her husband, Edwin Siu, stayed in Hong Kong to prepare for the Guangzhou leg of a concert tour with Kenneth Ma and Joe Cheung.

The Home Front
Infant-care arrangements for working parents in Hong Kong's entertainment sector are rarely formalized, so a production-provided nursing room is an uncommon departure. The arrangement points to how childcare planning can shift when a parent's work requires travel.
If you are planning a return to work after a baby, map out who will provide childcare during work hours and whether a backup caregiver is available for travel. Ask any employer or production about on-site nursing or infant-care options before accepting a schedule that requires time away.
The takeaway
Wong's trip shows that bringing an infant along on work travel depends on a dependable caregiver and a workplace willing to provide a nursing space. Before committing to a trip, confirm both arrangements in writing.
