Caretaking burden and social support: comparison of mothers of infants with and without disabilities.

Data concerning mothers' perceptions of child caretaking burden, fathers' participation in child caretaking, and satisfaction with social support were analyzed for a 202 member sample consisting of mothers of infants with Down syndrome, motor impairment, developmental delay, and no known disabilities. The results were contrary to some common findings from the literature. Significant differences among the four groups were found on difficulty of and time devoted to caretaking, number of tasks with which fathers helped, and satisfaction with support from family, friends, and community groups. The programmatic and policy implications of these findings were discussed.

Child-rearing--a task for fathers as well as mothers.

A father can make a useful contribution to caring for his children. In so doing, he not only helps to ease the burden on his partner but also enriches the lives of all members of his family, including his own.

Mothers' and fathers' recognition of their newborns' photographs during the postpartum period.

In the present study, we have compared the ability of mothers and fathers to recognize their newborns' photographs during the early postpartum period. We suspected that fathers would prove to be less proficient than mothers, as a result of differences in the quality of their contact with their newborns. Our hypothesis was not confirmed. Rather, mothers and fathers were, for the most part, equally proficient at recognizing their infants. Since focused attention is a requisite for accurate photograph recognition, these data suggest that fathers view their newborns with perspicacity comparable to that of mothers.
