For the first child I had 75% top up so I took the 9 weeks off.
For the second child I was laid off right before she was born so I had 9 weeks off until I started a new job - not by choice. That was stressful AF.
If the baby is easy, great. Our first one was a super easy baby. The second one cried till the world ended. We were also a lot more chill and laid back with the first one, where I think the baby picks up your cues. With the second one, life was different and stress levels were much much higher.
Never took the second bit of time off as finances didn't allow it.
