In many countries, women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs, during the first month after birth of their baby. Does the disadvantages outweigh the advantages ?

In a number of nations, maternity leave is granted to working-class women within and after the

first

month of delivery.

This

notion has some pro's and con's which would be elaborated on.

To begin

with, it is highly essential for countries to permit postpartum mothers to take work leave as

this

is both advantageous to mums and children.

Firstly

, a mother is able to nurse and bond with the baby properly.

This

includes exclusive breastfeeding of infant, as breastmilk is highly nutritious to a child,

thus

enhancing growth and preventing diseases.

Furthermore

, neonate becomes fond of their mum and builds up a trust during

this

process which is necessary for development .

Secondly

, ladies who just delivered are able to get financial support from the institution where they work, as their salaries are not cut off despite the leave granted, as

they do not struggle financially. In essence, time off job's following birth is of great benefit to both neonate and women.

On the other hand

, despite the proponents aforementioned, working females may find it difficult to get up to speed at their task after 3 to 4 months off duties. Particularly, due to the fact that they may be distracted or stressed from baby duties.

For instance

, a sister of mine who resumed after her leave, had difficulty in juggling nursing a child and her occupational activities, as her mind often got preoccupied with her infant. For

this

reason, it may be necessary to help postpartum's with coping skills prior to the resumption of official duties. In conclusion, nations that grant mums time off work should be increasingly encouraged as the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages .

In addition

, strategies to

further

enhance coping skills can be implemented to avert the cons.
