Intermittent FMLA leave may be used for bonding with a newborn child or for the placement of a newly adopted or fostered child, but the employer must approve the use of such intermittent leave. If the newly born or newly placed child has a serious health condition, the employee has the right to take FMLA leave to care for the child intermittently, if medically necessary and such leave is not subject to the 12-month limitation.
