Answer 1

I went back to work after three months.  Its up to you and how you feel afterwards.  I was having a hard time leaving my baby when she was so little.  I got over it soon.  Just play it by ear.

Answer 2

I plopped one out on my lunch break and went right back to work that afternoon.

Answer 3

between 30 days to 6 mos
