How long can paternity leave be postponed?

During a woman's delivery period, as her partner's husband, there is a paternity leave stipulated by law. Paternity leave is mainly used to wait for the wife's delivery and take care of her during the confinement period. However, many women do not lack people to take care of them during the confinement period, but they will need more people after the confinement period. This kind of disagreement will cause differences between the other half during the summer vacation. So, can the paternity leave be postponed?

Can paternity leave be postponed?

1. Under normal circumstances, the male paternity is calculated when the female is hospitalized and gives birth, and the vacation is basically not allowed to be postponed.

2. If our country’s staff and employees of companies, government agencies and institutions practice late marriage and late childbearing, their statutory marriage leave is 30 days; those who practice late marriage and late childbearing, their maternity leave is 105 days, and men are given 15 days of nursing leave.

3. Couples of appropriate age who are urban and rural residents and have received the "Honorable Certificate of Parents of Only Child" will enjoy preferential treatment and rewards.

If a marriage certificate is obtained before the expiration of maternity leave, the maternity leave for women will be increased to 50 days, and the nursing leave for men will be increased to 5 days.

Benefits for men to take leave of absence

1. There are many benefits for men to take "maternity leave", which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of pregnant women and babies. During maternity leave, a woman is physically weak and naturally needs more care from her husband. In addition, pregnant women often experience heavy mental stress and their moods are easily fluctuated. Having a caring husband at your side can provide better care for the wife and baby. It can also help to eliminate the anxiety of pregnant women and is of great help to a successful delivery, postpartum recovery, and breastfeeding.

2. It is beneficial to the brain development of newborn babies. Although newborn babies are not easy to speak and their vision is not well developed, their senses are sensitive and they are most receptive to the touch of their parents at this time. The father's words and aura will give the newborn a kind of information, which is beneficial to the baby's sensory development and the formation of a strong character in the future. According to a study by the University of Cambridge, if the father participates in the baby's early life, it will have a positive impact on the child's future physical and mental development. They will perform better in interpersonal skills and problem-solving abilities, and these will be reflected many years later.

Childbirth during pregnancy requires the couple to spend time together. Whether it is the anxiety during pregnancy and after delivery, the confusion during breastfeeding, or even the twists and turns during the baby's development period, the couple needs to discuss and deal with each other. During this period, no matter any differences or unprecedented problems, the whole process of the family coping and solving them together is to promote parent-child communication in the family.
