How long is normal or reasonable for new dads to take off of work after the baby is born?

Depends on the state and job. There is no set amount unfortunately

My fiancé only got 3 days off-unpaid- after our son was born. He’s in a much better job where he will get 6 weeks paid leave after our daughter is born. I would take all the time you could get honestly.

Gosh I wish my husband would have had time off. They were calling him to come back into work while we were still at the hospital. So he was just allowed 2 days of unpaid time off. Then he was back on the road. I think dads deserve at least a month!

My SO was fairly lucky, his work gave him 2 unpaid weeks off and it was super helpful especially because I had an unplanned c section

My husband got 2 weeks paid paternity leave. My friend gave birth last September and her husband got 4 weeks paid paternity leave.

My husband saved a week of vacation for when the twins were born. I was in the hospital for a few days, so he had our older two. When my older two were born, he was off for just the days we were in the hospital.
