What do you think is an adequate maternity leave? I know that different countries have different maternity leaves and I've also heard of women having more time than what the law allocates by taking a leave of absence from their job.
What is the optimal amount of time for a maternity leave?

You can't laugh for 365 days in a year.
I think 90 days is adequate maternity leave, in my country the law says 90 days. I think this gives women adequate time to bond with their babies and also it ensures that the mother can now leave the baby home with the nany when the baby is strong enough. Any amount of time less than 3 months is not enough in my opinion. I think the optimal should infact be 90 days.
I think 6 months is adequate time for a maternity leave.
I think paid leave of up to six months with flex time when returing to work is the best leave to give; however corporate America somehow thinks six weeks should suffice. The first year is very vital in a childs life and much more sicknesses can be avoided if a parent is allowed to stay home longer to help babies immune systems stronger.
18 years is my (and the child's) preference

I have applied for three months leave, i think my boss wouldn't mind that, I think three months are more than enough for the maternity leaves! BTW, i am already with everything in place bought the stuff needed, bought the maternity wears, recent purchase was seamless nursing bras !
