     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Military Moms Matter Act of 2021&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill addresses Department of Defense (DOD) policies regarding parental leave and postpartum care for service members.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill authorizes primary caregivers to take 12 weeks of parental leave, and up to 6 weeks of medical convalescent leave (which may not be considered in calculating the 12 weeks of parental leave), in connection with the birth of a child. Additionally, primary caregivers are authorized to take up to 12 weeks of parental leave in connection with the adoption of a child.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Under the bill, secondary caregivers are authorized to take up to 12 weeks of parental leave in connection with the birth or adoption of a child. The bill also removes the requirement that secondary caregivers must take such leave in one increment.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Among other requirements, DOD must also&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;provide at least four postpartum mental health assessments and other medical care in the year after a service member (or their dependent) gives birth,&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;ensure that a service member (or their dependent) who gives birth at a military medical treatment facility has the option to schedule a postpartum follow-up appointment concurrent with the date of the follow-up appointment for postnatal care for the newborn infant,&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;develop a standardized policy prohibiting each military branch from requiring a service member to take a physical fitness test until one year after giving birth, and&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;issue guidance on the development and implementation of standard protocols for the treatment of obstetric hemorrhages.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
