[quote=Anonymous]I did this. I took 4 full months (17 weeks in the end) with my first and I was nervous to ask, but it went well and I would do it again in a heartbeat. In fact next baby I will probably ask for 5 or 6. I just really feel like 3 months is the bare minimum. If everything goes well 3 is okay, but we struggled with breastfeeding and looking back having to go back after 4 months was a big factor in me stopping breastfeeding, something I somewhat regret now (though of course, it's all fine and baby is happy!) It is worth the ask for sure and I think the more people ask, the more it will become normal for people to take more reasonable leaves. Also, unless you work for a small company, people really will be just fine. It's 1-2 times in your life for most people and a rare opportunity to spend time at home with your kid if you plan to WOH. I think it's worth it! [/quote]
