As written it fails the "actual problem that you face" guideline for stack exchange sites, but this is a really interesting question

as for paternity leave, my husband took 14 days of vacation right after the baby was was born for our first, and 1 week for the second (since my parents had come). The important thing is that your wife needs someone else with her to help her. Just to hold the baby so she can get a shower, to bring her tea/water so she drinks enough (esp if breastfeeding), to make dinner etc. Labor recovery is a real thing.
the when the baby was 4 months he took 2 months leave. (we are in the US and he had 1 month paid, one unpaid). We had one month together all of us as a family, and then he did one month after I went back to work, when the baby was 5-6 month old. It was GREAT for him to bond with the baby like that, also great for me as a mom to know that he could figure it out. If your wife has longer leave, I would do it later, my brother (in Denmark) took leave when his kids where about 9 months - they are more fun.
