Maternity leave, when is it good to go back to work

I’m wondering if 2 months if enough maternity leave before I go back to work. I feel I’m the sort who can’t be cooped up at home too long. Was thinking of breaking up my ML 2 months den work 2 months den another 2 months ML. Fully intend to try expressing milk even at work too

Hi there, for my first born I took the full 4 months and like you, I got soooo bored at home. Even during confinement I dreaded it cos I felt cooped up and envied those who can go out to work or to have a breather. Now pregnant with my no.2, I decided to take 3 months and save that 1 month for emergencies. Furthermore, I think 2 months is too short unless you have alternate care for ur baby. For mine, I have to send to infant care and I hope that baby gets to start when he’s 2.5 months and allows time for me to adjust to the school routine. Hope my reply helps :)
