Take as much paternal leave you can financially band legally. The child bonds with the mom naturally but you bond with it as a father almost as much once you stay with them for a couple of months while mom is away working and not destroying her career. I took the maximum of one year allowed here in Korea without gettin into trouble at work. I don’t feel it had any impact on my career, but it was a time I will never forget as one of the best times I had in my life.
