[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can safely ignore the PP who posts the meta analysis study link. She does this frequently. What she posts is literally contradicted by her own link, but she doesn't understand that, or any response pointing how she is wrong out. Also I stayed home when my kids were younger (except for one of them) and they are much older now so I don't have a personal stake in this. I just hate how she uses her shoddy understanding of science and imaginary studies to berate vulnerable new mothers.[/quote]

As long as you see any evidence of positives of babies being home with their parents as “berating new mothers,” there will never be better parental leave policies in this country.

Attitudes like yours are the reason these studies are either not done, not publicized, or twisted and misquoted.  There doesn’t need to be a conspiracy to keep these “secret.”  We do it ourselves.

There have literally been around 60 years of studies, many of them trying hard to prove one way or the other is better because there's a lot of money in books shaming women. But as it turns out, the data just isn't there. In comparison, the data is there for things like untreated mental illness, alcoholism, etc. for things that harm women and babies. The fact there isn't a study to back up your desire to shame women is too bad for you, but do not pretend maternal employment hasn't been extensively studied. You just like to berate new mothers.
