Maternity leave/Shared parental leave

Since our kids will be born after 1st april 2026, anyone planning to fully utilise the shared parental leave and taking 6months at one go? Or is it better to keep some for child vaccinations/falling sick etc. thinking how much to keep will be a good amount?#PregnancyAdvise #sharedparentalleave

i am taking more or less 6 months at one go, with some half days at work for a few days a week, starting in Sep to extend the leave a little! i think companies usually give additional 3 days CCL once you have a child so that might be an option too good thought to keep some days to take just in case though! i didn’t consider that
