‼️Working Moms! If You are Able to Split Some of Your Leave Time I Encourage You to Do so I'm In California and I Saved 3 weeks of my bonding time to be able to be off for a few weeks before Gia turns 1! I will be off work from 4/1-4/25 taking he remainder of my bonding time and it will be PAID LEAVE!!! I kno for some it is hard to tear away from your baby esp if you are a first time mom but for me it works perfectly I was able to get back to the money and now I am able to spend the three weeks before her first birthday with her I'm hoping she walks before I return to work! Check your Family Leave Laws in your state!!! Don't just go by what your HR rep or Manager tells you! I did my research because many at my job were talked out of splitting their time outright told it wasn't possible which was false!
