The use of intermittent FMLA leave for these purposes is subject to the employer’s approval. If the newly born or newly placed child has a serious health condition, the employee has the right to take FMLA leave to care for the child intermittently, if medically necessary and such leave is not subject to the 12-month limitation.(Q) When can a parent take leave for a newborn?Mothers and fathers have the same right to take FMLA leave to bond with a newborn child. A mother can also take FMLA leave for prenatal care, incapacity related to pregnancy, and for her own serious health condition following the birth of a child. A father can also use FMLA leave to care for his spouse who is incapacitated due to pregnancy or child birth.For more information go to show transcripts for downloading answers to this episodes questions from other injured workers.Dr. Taylor’s contact information is: https://[email protected] If you need a provider or assistance with a DOL claim in Tampa, Pensacola Florida, Georgia, Alabama   or Oklahoma City you can make an appointment to see him and the other providers at the clinic at  M & R Medical & Therapy Center or FWC Medical Centers.
