[quote=Anonymous]Does he have to take the time consecutively? For baby 1, DH took three weeks when baby was born (you will want him there for at least a week while you are healing). Then took Mondays and Fridays for the next 8 weeks. It allowed us to spend time together as a family, I could get in naps, and it felt right. He did a similar thing for baby 2. Sometimes he did house things or mowed the lawn or cleaned the house while I had the baby so that when it was the weekend and we were together, it was family time. He is taking 10 weeks all together for baby 3. I am back at work and he is solo with baby - I mean we are all home cause pandemic but.... It is a different experience for him this way. If he has up to a year to take it, you might be employed by then and then not have to do daycare for many weeks longer. I would think about being creative and using the time. It is good for him to take time to he home with his kid.[/quote]
