I don't know what you consider long but I took 3 months off when my daughter was born nearly one year ago and it was pretty easy to go back. I was less often on Twitter, Dev, reddit, etc. but enough to keep me informed of whatever is happening.

Even tough I wasn't full energy because of the newborn, it was very beneficial. The stress level was way down even if I was starting my first contract after 5 years at the same place.

If you can do it financially, I highly recommend it
