The Australian Institute of Family Studies research revealed that full-time working mums spend on average 83 minutes less per day with their baby than stay-at-home mums, but the baby's father and grandparents make up for the lost mother time, reports The Daily Telegraph.

The study used the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children which asked parents of 3000 babies aged 3-14 months. The volunteers were asked to keep diaries on how their babies time was spent.

"While babies spent less time with their mother if she was in paid work, this time appeared to be made up by fathers and with other relatives such as grandparents," institute research fellow Dr Jennifer Baxter said.

Dr Baxter said her study showed babies of working mums received the same amount of attention measured in cuddles, reading and conversation as babies of stay-at-home mums.

Paul Royal wasn't thinking about his parents when he and his wife, Bonnie, decided to move into Exeter, N.H., from its rural outskirts. They had in mind their son, Andrew, then 2, who would benefit later from the good schools and nearby neighbors. But when they came upon a for-sale sign offering a "house of the future," their perspective changed.
The custom-built home was really two dwellings under one roof: a 2,400-square-foot single-family unit with a 1,400-square-foot mother-in-law apartment in the basement. Although Paul initially dismissed the idea, he realized the setup would be perfect for his family and his elderly parents, who lived 90 miles away.
Cohabiting would eliminate the long weekly drive to see them. He and his wife would be right there in case of an accident or a health problem. His son would grow closer to his grandparents. And the separate apartment allowed for privacy: Each part of the house had its own entrance, kitchen, laundry room and garage space.

There is absolutely no doubt that all parents in the world love their kids. The most important point is, do they know how to take care of their babies? This is important because love is something else and proper care of your newborn baby is something else. Unfortunately most of the younger parents don't know much about baby care. It's important to educate them about the proper techniques to be adopted to take good care of their newborn babies.

Having a new baby is a wonderful experience but can be a terrifying. Many new parents face the arrival of their new baby with great anxiety. The responsibility of caring can be overwhelming.

Parents, you want it to be a good experience when your child goes to child care. When looking for care, be sure to observe to see how well the caregiver communicates with and relates to the children. This is important. Does the caregiver get down to the children’s level when talking with them? See if she listens patiently when a child is talking with her. For the children who can talk, does she give choices of things to do when it is appropriate? This gives children a sense of being in control.

It’s good when a caregiver talks with the children all day long. Babies and toddlers benefit from hearing language. The caregiver should describe what she is doing during routines and what is going on at child care. Older children benefit from attentive caregivers who explain things for them.

The Berega Orphanage, a cluster of neat stucco cottages in this village of red dirt roads and maize plots, is a far cry from what the name suggests. The 20 infants and toddlers here are not put up for adoption, nor kept on indefinitely without hope of ever living with a family.Most of their mothers died giving birth or soon after — something that, in poor countries, leaves newborns at great risk of dying, too. The children are here just temporarily, to get a start in life so they can return to their villages and their extended families when they are 2 or 3 years old, well past the fragile days of infancy and big enough to digest cow’s milk and eat regular food.

And, in an innovative program designed to meet the infants’ emotional as well as physical needs, many have teenage girls from their extended families living with them at the orphanage.

The second annual CASA Kids 5K, held last month at the Princeton Pike Corporate Center, helped the organization raise both funds and awareness of the needs of abused and neglected children. The event raised over $59,000 for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Mercer County, and nearly 250 people showed up to run.

"We're delighted to have had another highly successful CASA Kids 5K," said Randall Kirkpatrick, CASA development director. "We had a great group of sponsors, volunteers and, of course, runners, who uniformly praised the well-designed course."

Babies born to teenage mothers are more likely to die in the early weeks of life than those of older women, a major report shows today.

The latest figures from the confidential enquiry into maternal and child health (Cemach) show that women under the age of 20 "have a significantly higher rate of neonatal death" (at less than 28 days of life) than those who are older. The average for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands is 3.3 deaths per 1,000 births, but in teenagers, the rate rises to 4.4 per 1,000.

The report says that the social deprivation of many of the teenage mothers may be a factor in the higher rate of baby deaths. In 2007, the year for which the latest data has been collected, 9.6% of all babies dying as neonates were born to women under the age of 20.

I had the rare privilege this weekend of checking out the least stress-inducing festival I’ve ever experienced: the annual Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley. We’re talking manageable crowds, a beautiful setting, good food and drink, short lines, easy (free) parking, family-friendliness and — are you sitting down? — flush toilets and running water. (Bestill my beating heart!)

All of this would be moot, of course, if the music weren’t first-rate, which it certainly is. Be warned: This festival, sponsored by the California Bluegrass Association, uses a rather strict definition of bluegrass. You won’t find electric basses or (God forbid) drums, no jam bands or hyphenated fusions. But that doesn’t mean it’s stuck in the past. This year’s lineup included three of the most important bands to emerge in this decade: the SteelDrivers, the Grascals and Dailey & Vincent.
