I can’t speak for your financial situation but if you can avoid it, just spend as much time as possible with your kid (and partner) because you’ll never get it again.

I picked up a well-paying freelance producer job while I was on leave. It helped alleviate some of the financial stress for sure and made me feel a little more sane. The hardest part was finding time to pump.

Depending on your skill set you could try some remote design work or consulting.

First of all OP. What is it that you can do? “Manager” doesn’t really give us anything to go off of.

Paid leave?

The first few months are draining. Be ready to work in a zombie state.

Technically if it's paid leave can't you get in trouble for double dipping? Or not paid leave? I don't care either way, just be careful of that is all. Good luck!

Typically a paid leave is basically short term disability. Therefore it would be illegal to work. If it’s unpaid I would look into your state laws regarding the topic.

You don’t have to take leave. If you want to want to work just come back early.
