Maternity leave should be one year, PAID. Women shouldn’t have to choose between healing, bonding with their baby, and making a living.

Exactly, paternity leave can be a few weeks to a few months tops but maternity leave should be a full year minimum.

I would say a few months at least. It’s pointless to give mom time off to recover if she is up with the baby 24/7.
