Should I pump at home while on maternity leave?

Questions & Answers
It's a good idea to freeze a supply of breastmilk. However, leave your pump in the box until your baby is at least 3-4 weeks old, when your baby should start being introduced to a bottle. Make sure you feel comfortable using your pump before you go back to work. Don't feel like you should pump every day during your maternity leave. You can build up a good supply of milk to freeze by pumping in the morning, when you typically make the most milk.

Maternity leave coverage varies according to your employer and your eligibility. State disability will pay for up to 4 weeks before your due date and up to 6 weeks after for a vaginal delivery for normal uncomplicated pregnancies. The state will not allow you to add weeks to the end if you do not take them ahead of time. Many patients choose to work longer due to the amount that the state pays.

Can the employer count time on maternity leave or pregnancy disability as FMLA leave?

Yes. Pregnancy disability leave or maternity leave for the birth of a child would be considered qualifying FMLA leave for a serious health condition and may be counted in the 12 weeks of leave so long as the employer properly notifies the employee in writing of the designation. In most situations, the employer cannot count leave as FMLA leave retroactively. Remember, the employee must be notified in writing that an absence is being designated as FMLA leave.
