For the father, not the nursery: a red-light headlamp for night changes, a mug that locks between sips, an air fryer and an Instant Pot, earplugs for his turn to sleep. The FMLA gives an eligible father up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave in the baby’s first year; eligible means 12 months and 1,250 hours on the job where the employer has 50 or more employees within 75 miles (Department of Labor).
