“A ground-breaking study has found that mothers can go back to work months after the birth of their child without the baby’s wellbeing suffering as a result.” The Guardian reports: “While there are downsides to mothers taking work during their child’s first year, there were also significant advantages—an increase in mothers’ income and wellbeing, and a greater likelihood that children receive high-quality childcare.
