I cofounded a company and had my first kid 4 months later - it was brutal. I took 2 weeks off completely but then had to take a bunch of days after because babies are hard work.

What I would do next time:

- Take more than 2 weeks (lol)

- Communicate expectations before and during

- Assign out your core responsibilities (start by looking at last months meetings and seeing who wouldve been best to replace you)

- Be available via Slack and E-mail when needed

- Put wife and baby first (this means slack/emails only get tended to when baby is napping and your not cooking/cleaning, etc.)
