” Unfortunately, the dad couldn’t take his leave paternity for professional reasons. His company would have withdrawn his bonuses if he had taken his leave. The sum was significant, so we decided to wait a few months. But at first, it was not easy to be alone with the baby. ”

“We were lucky to have a golden baby. He slept all the time, he only asked for one or even two feedings a night, and at only one month, he was sleeping through the night. Suddenly, my husband waited 4 months to take his paternity leave which fell in May. We were able to enjoy the beautiful days and baby. My husband has calculated his move well, with the bridges of the month of May, he was able to benefit from 19 days in addition to his 11 days of paternity leave. ”

“My partner took 6 weeks for our two children. From birth he took care of the baby, he changed her diapers, he got up at night and gave her the bottle. He especially enjoyed the naps with our first child! For the second, he did the same. What happiness! ”

In video: Does my partner have to take paternity leave?
“For my part, the dad took his paternity leave when I left the maternity ward, and I have fond memories of it! For the first time, there were three of us at home, like in our cocoon … My husband was great because, coming out of a difficult cesarean, I was in a terrible state of fatigue. We were able to go to the first appointment with the pediatrician together, we organized ourselves for the nights, the first outings with the baby, etc. We both have very good memories! »

“For my second daughter, the dad was only able to take paternity leave. It was much too short, because it was really not easy to manage a little one with many health concerns and very difficult beginnings of breastfeeding. In the end, he ended up taking back 15 days around the little girl’s two months, it did us all good. I think that fifteen days of paternity leave is not enough. »
