Hello,

I wish to collect some informations about the leaves after the birth of a 
baby, in Germany particularly in order to answer to a french Mom who works 
there;

Is there a legal leave for breastfeeding in Germany?

Is there a possibility of a sick leave for pathological labour ? (for 
example in France there has been no legal leave for breastfeeding since 
about 30-40 years and women who are employed must actually CHEAT : when they 
are at the end of their maternity leave they have to ask their doctor for a 
medical leave / a sick leave of 15 days (renewable once) so they save one 
month of breastfeeding; and "breastfeedin" motive should not be written or 
our Medical Insurance could act against it (breastfeeding is not a 
disease!!!)

What about Germany? and if you know also about the situation in 
Great-Britain, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, and USA? because 
I wish to collect as much information as possible around the world; Maybe it 
could help us: showing the example of foreign countries;

Best regards,
