If you fit other eligibility requirements of the NJ FLA and FMLA, you can take leave to take care of you daughter if she has a "serious health condition." The condition can be both physical and mental. Shortly after a C-section many women would be considered to have a "serious health condition." For more specific advice, please contact our firm, Resnick & Nirenberg, PC at (973) 781-1204.
