It's about time they compared the men! (daddies)

It seems like once a month there is a "study" published comparing the type of woman/mother that chooses to stay at home with the type of woman/mother that chooses to work full-time outside of the home. Now it's the guys' turn!!! (Although this article touches on much more than just that.)
I found this tid-bit to be of interest:

Statistics shows that men with college degrees are more
likely to spend time bathing, playing with and doting on their
children.
Of men ages 22 to 44, 47
percent of those who had not completed high school had children outside of
marriage, compared with 6 percent of those with an undergraduate
degree.

I have to just brag for a moment here- with or without his college degree, I'd bet my husband would be the same amazing dad he is now. He does have his degree, though, and he is working on his Masters currently.

Other points of interest:

A new study conducted by Dr. Ian St. James-Roberts of
the University of London`s Institute of Education has found that babies who are
comforted as soon as they begin to cry will cry less than those who are left
alone, Life Style Extra reported.
Parents who left their babies alone to cry found that at two and
five weeks of age, their babies cried 50 percent more than did those babies who
had been comforted immediately.
An
unsurprising exception to the rule was that colicky babies were found to cry
regardless of the attention received or the time it took to get that
attention.

Ahhh. Once again my stance on letting your baby "cry-it-out" is reaffirmed. It's not a good thing! Those poor babies need love and comfort and security- not "training". They are people, not dogs!
I especially agree with the colicky part, though. Our son was colicky. Lord was he ever. 4.5 months of non-stop fussing- I thought I was going crazy. For colicky babies, most often the crying is due to GERD or something physical bothering them. (Lord knows I attended to his cries, held him and nursed him nonstop!)
