How often do you get a break from baby?

For example, do you have someone (not your partner) watch your baby in or outside of your home once a week so that you can run errands/do something for yourself? Does your little one go to childcare a couple mornings a week? I’m in month 3 of my maternity leave and I feel like I just need a break. My husband’s days off work are not consecutive so I constantly feel like he says he “needs” his one day off for himself and don’t want to throw the baby at him lol. To be fair, he usually wants to do things as a family in those days. At the same time, whenever a grandparent watches our little one, it’s for an event (party, friend’s birthday, etc.) so it’s never to just catch up on life if that makes sense. I’m considering putting baby in daycare once a week till I go back. Does anyone else do anything for a break?
