Bonding leave is the best

I'm a new father who has been on bonding leave for the past 7 weeks. I can't imagine going back to work immediately after birth. My wife and baby both needed support and it has been amazing to be able to be here with them. Huge thank you to the advocates that helped get the new law enacted and to everyone that is making this possible.

Anecdotally, we had a nurse from the county who does general post partum support come and visit us this past week and when we asked her about what she's seeing overall she told us she has seen major improvement in mental health of mothers she visits as a result of this policy.
