Hi everyone!! I am currently working with a female soldier who is inducing lactation for her soon to be born adopted son (about 4 weeks to go). She is doing wonderfully as far as lactation, but I am wondering if anyone on the list has any knowledge of the family leave regulations of the Army??? She is an E-4, and works as the secretary/driver for her company commander. Her company commander has told her that she can only take 2 weeks leave after the birth of her son---since she is not actually giving birth. She called her state senator and he also contacted her CC, but it seems that the family leave regulations are mandated because of medical neccessity only. I am wondering if the leave revolves around medical necessity, if it would not be possible to get a pediatrician to state that this mom requires extra leave to bf her child??? Is there a better angle to this?? Should she contact the legal counsel that is available to her on post?? Seems like discrimination to me. Any experience or ideas out there??
