I went back to work when my 2nd child was 4.5 months old. I think one of the major factors in maintaining a wonderful bond with him was co-sleeping. Those hours in bed at night helped to make up for the long hours I was teaching and coaching. If your child will do it, I would consider co-sleeping since you are going back to work so soon.
I don't know anyone else's thoughts on this, but maybe you could take your 3 weeks off and when you go back to work, DH could take his 3 weeks off, so that the baby doesn't have to go into daycare until he/she has been home 6 weeks. In an ideal world you could be off together, but I think in your situation I would rather do it one at a time so baby could stay home longer.
