The verse in Revelation says NOTHING WHATSOEVER about how much or how little time passed between her giving birth and the child (son) being caught up to God.

The time frame is clear. The devil was waiting to destroy the child as soon as it was born. When it is born it is caught up to the throne and the mother flees into the wilderness for 3.5 years.
Rev 12:5
5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that
they should feed her there
a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
When the manchild is caught up the the woman (following verse) heads to the wilderness.
This is reiterated a few verses later.
Rev 12:
13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into
the wilderness, into her place,
where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
On the other hand Jesus first ministered on earth for several years before returning to Heaven.
If the woman were Israel that would have
HER fleeing to the wilderness for 42 months. But for what purpose? Israel was
NOT persecuted for the following 42 months nor fled to the wilderness.
