TAKE ACTION
The time after the birth or adoption of a baby is an essential time of development for babies and families. During this critical bonding period, paid family leave allows working parents the time to foster a nurturing relationship necessary for healthy growth and development.
Now, more babies will have the opportunity to bond with parents during a critical time of their development.
Beyond the benefits of forming strong attachments, the availability of paid leave for both parents is associated with improved outcomes. This includes lower rates of infant mortality and postpartum depression and higher rates of breastfeeding, vaccination, doctors’ check-ups and fathers participating in caretaking.
This is great news for New Jersey, its families and babies!
