Extension Of Maternity Leave???

Dear All,
Thank you for your valued suggestions. Now, she does not have enough leave to her credit, she has already exhausted all of that, however, as Pon says “on humanitarian grounds” we have sanctioned another one month but she insists on 2 months, not that the work will suffer but what if tomorrow she wants to extend the leave further?? I too am against termination.
@Anuradha> that’s a great suggestion to have a small area allocated for the baby, however, for a midsize company like us, it would not be feasible.

I guess it's time people start having a positive view of a mother's crucial role. Child Care leave if applicable is the best way to extend the child care required during infancy. Though technically, 12 weeks is the legal provision of ML , mother's can be expected to wish to extend this period by making use of other leave available for them and ideally organizations should be supportive of maternal requirements in such cases, Even the leave sanctioning authorities at some point of time in their lives must have faced the same situation back home. It's not a female employee's fault if she wishes to be as good a mother as she wishes to be a professional.It's all about how positive the HR policies are in one's organization. Every working mother does have a right to be a caring mother too. It is medically required of her to ideally breast feed the baby for six months and not give the baby any other supplement.Even nursing breaks would not be enough if the baby has to solely depend on mother's feed. So if she can plan her motherhood by managing her leave, the organization should not try to look for ways her leave can be denied

hI,
Anyone please let me know if the law states anything on 2nd time ML. My question is
Can a Company put restriction on number of occasions of availing Maternity Leave during the period of employment?.
