[quote=Anonymous]OP, I also took a year with each kid and I really loved it. Some people do, and your baby will be happy to have you! My favorite parts: -- classes (music, yoga, storytimes etc) with your baby are great. adds structure to the day, and you end up meeting other parents. I made some great friends during that time -- lots of super educated moms also choose (and are able) to stay home during the first year. met women with phds, rhodes scholars. -- if you want to breastfeed, it is so easy. you can just be in sync with your baby. I never pumped -- you get into a totally different rhythm and state of mind than when working. it's more zen-like -- you can be in the present and meet the needs of your baby, rather than dealing with deadlines and stress. work will be there on the other side. Dont mind the naysayers! many, many, many countries have 1 or 2 years of leave for a reason. -[/quote]
