[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The choices are 1) part-time at 4 months followed by full-time at six months or 2) maternity leave until 6 months?

Definitely pick #2.[/quote]

OP here. Yes. I can either go back part-time 3 days until 6 months, or take off and go back full-time at 6 months. I think both have benefits. [/quote]

OP the vast majority of us who have done this before and responded said to take the 6 months, but it sounds like you’re still unsure so maybe there is something else making you think the part time will be better for you. You have to do what’s right for your family. Now that you’ve said it’s 3 full days I would personally, RUN to the full 6 months of leave! But it sounds like something is holding you back- maybe mental health wise you feel like going back would be better for you? Those things are important too and it’s ok if that’s part of it. Good luck! [/quote]

OP here. I felt it would be a better transition for me and the baby part-time and build up to full-time. He gets used to a nanny or daycare, and I get used to be away. I don't want it to be a shock to him. It will also allow me to breastfeed longer, because I plan to stop breastfeeding when I go back to work full-time. [/quote]
