  - Of course. But even if it hadn't bothered me, it's not even slightly developmentally appropriate.  LeftyMom   Sep-14-08 06:23 PM   #7 
  - Bull Shit!  Breeze54   Sep-14-08 06:24 PM   #10 
  - It's vomit-inducing that infants need to form a bond with their primary caregiver?  LeftyMom   Sep-14-08 08:20 PM   #64 
     - No.... your premise that mothers should not venture away from their babies for 6 months! Ludicrous!  Breeze54   Sep-14-08 09:07 PM   #67 
        - I never even said that the primary caregiver has to be the mother, though it generally is  LeftyMom   Sep-14-08 09:11 PM   #69

  - So you are condeming every mother that went back to work  JeanGrey   Sep-14-08 06:28 PM   #19 
     - A mom of a baby with special needs who goes back to work after 3 days -- it's not typical.  tblue   Sep-14-08 06:30 PM   #23 
     - I don't condemn ANY working mothers. Period.  JeanGrey   Sep-14-08 06:39 PM   #31 
        - One of the only voices of reason,  Fire_Medic_Dave   Sep-14-08 07:07 PM   #42

     - No, I'm saying it's in the infant's best interest to stay with it's primary caregiver.  LeftyMom   Sep-14-08 08:19 PM   #63 
     - Well this is America. And studies have shown that babies  JeanGrey   Sep-15-08 01:52 AM   #101
