As far as I know, government Maternity leave rules don't talk about baby death. So that means you should avail full Maternity benefit.

From this High Court order, we can see that Judge has made comments that "convalescing from labor and nursing breaks" are part of maternity leaves that's why it should be allowed in case of adoption of child. So even after death due to reason of need of convalescence, it should be allowed in case after death of child.
