FTM to experienced mothers! - Maternity Leave

Hi moms!

I’m a first time mom and an independent business owner. I’m planning on bringing baby back to work with me after maternity leave, since my business is child-orientated. However, because I’m a hands on owner I’m trying to plan out my maternity leave to the best of my ability (but how often does ‘baby’ anything go as planned? 🤣). So it’s the maternity leave itself that I’m struggling with.

I know each body and baby is different, but how long did you take for maternity leave? How long did it take you to FEEL ready to go back to work?
