My workplace updated their leave policy from 2 weeks to 3 months back in April, and in May my wife and I welcomed a new baby boy. I’ve taken the whole 3 months and it feels like one of the best choices I’ve ever made. Getting to spend so much time with him has been incredibly rewarding, I have so much confidence when dealing with anything that pops up, and I’ve been able to support my wife in recovery from a fairly traumatic birth. We’ve already decided that if we have another kid I’ll take 3 months off just the same, even if it has to be unpaid. If you have the opportunity to take the time, absolutely do it.
