Sounds like a reasonable situation to me. Women have had the short end of the stick for long time (since forever) in regard to the employment and social expectations placed upon them and they should do everything in their power to protect their interests when working and being a mother. I think its impressive she's working 4 days - imagine how it feels to her to leave her new born with another person 4 days out of 7.
