[quote=Anonymous]I saw a similar post on the Infant/Preschool forum, and thought I would ask my question here. My husband and I recently welcomed our baby. I have 12 weeks of leave in addition to one month of sick leave and one of annual leave. We have two other children so I don't want to use all of my leave. My husband already took the first two weeks off, and has the ability to take off when needed but he doesn't have the ability to take weeks off at a time only a couple days per month.

My plan was to take four months off, go back to work in the summer, and then take the month of September or October off. I can also use additional leave if needed (roughly six months total (this includes the four months I mentioned earlier), but wanted to save it in case I need it later. What would you do? Take additional leave off? Go back into the office earlier? Do a little part time and then work full time in the winter? Any advice would be appreciated. I went back to work after 12 weeks with my first two children, and wished I had taken off more time, so this time around I am trying to strategically plan my leave. [/quote]
