The only requirement for leave for the birth of a child is the birth of a child. You can take leave just to be with your infant. Basically, the law assumes that infants require care and you are therefore eligible for leave just because you are the parent.
However, your employer has to be covered by the FMLA, and you need to be eligible for it, in order to take it.
Your employer is covered if it employed 50 or more people for 20 or more weeks in this or the last calendar year. You are eligible if you worked for at least a year, more than 1,250 hours in the last year, and the place where you work has 50 or more employees (or there are 50 who work within a 25 mile radius.
