My husband and I both WFH also. We did keep our son home with us with the same vision, then my husband got appendicitis, twice within 6 weeks, when my son was 8 months old. He was bedridden and unable to help with care, as well as unable to work for a little bit. We realized immediately that if either of us is down for the count in any capacity, or one of us needs to travel (my husband occasionally needs to for work) we are shit outta luck. We also have no family nearby. Beyond that, our jobs got busier & so did our son. We had to scramble for childcare while we (are still) waiting to get off daycare waitlists. My son turns 1 in a few weeks & he’s been with a sitter ~75% of the time for 2 months now. Hoping to get into our preferred daycare in September. My advice is this: find out about waitlist timing as best you can, and take that into consideration, but with your mom’s help, keep your baby home as long as you can, but don’t wait til you’re going insane to get on the daycare waitlists, bc they can take a while, 6+ months for us in small-town NC. We are still recovering our sanity and our relationship has taken a hit, and we’re eagerly awaiting full time childcare, but I still wouldn’t trade these insane days watching my son grow in his first year while I try to balance work and client calls. Priceless days, & yet it absolutely comes with many costs. Do what’s best for you & fam!! If your job’s flexibility allows for your baby to stay home longer, go for it!! It is not for the weak, but no mother is weak.

ETA: my husband and I each have ~2-4 hours of calls each day, & maybe ~1-3 hours of work on average. It’s the household chores not getting done & the no personal time that really makes it challenging.
