[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5/6 months is the sweet spot. You can take some baby yoga classes enjoy outings etc. I had my baby pre-COVID so not sure if you will be in the office full -time or if you will be working from home. If you will be home, then 4 months is ok, but if you will be expected back in the office full-time, then wait a little longer. Also, I caution you not to use all of your PTO on parental leave as you may need it in case baby gets sick or your nanny gets sick. It happens and really stressful when you have no leave to cover that. [/quote] NP and I would love to bank PTO, but you’re required to use whatever left before short-term disability kicks in - so start back at work with zero - I am burning it all before I go out. (Grr) Anyway OP, this is my third kid and I’m in a similar boat. (I was a SAHM with my first two.) I get six weeks of STD at 60% of my pay and will be taking the full 12 week FMLA period, followed by a two month leave of absence. In my limited memory, this seems like a good time to go back to work.[/quote]
