Background: Mothers who are exposed to formula advertisements (ads) are less likely to initiate breastfeeding and more likely to breastfeed for a shorter
duration than other mothers.
The same pattern existed for parenting stress with the exception that mothers with degree - level qualifications reported higher
levels than all other mothers except those with no qualifications.
Mothers with no qualifications were also more likely to admit to one or more negative feelings about being a
parent than other mothers.
Employed mothers — especially those working full time — are even less likely to reach their breastfeeding
targets than other mothers (Ogbuanu, Glover, Probst, Hussey, & Liu, 2011).
But she's no answer to a simple question from Neil: does she believe that West Indian mothers are better
mothers than other mothers?
The conduct disorder children were more hyperactive and less interactive during the play sessions, and their mothers were less interactive and more
disapproving than the other mothers.
Similarly, adolescents perceived these mothers whose attitudes were not consistent with their employment to value achievement less and to show less interest in
schoolwork than other mothers.
Full - time working mothers are somewhat more
likely than other mothers to say this is the case; about six - in - ten (59 %) say they don't have enough time away from their children to get together with friends or to pursue hobbies and other interests, compared with about half of mothers who are employed part time (48 %) or are not employed (47 %).
She added that she didn't feel she should be insulted because she decided to breastfeed her child for «a little
longer than other mothers».
In fact, nursing mothers tend to be with their infants altogether more
than other mothers.
