Majority of working dads in study took under 2 weeks' family leave
Research points to paternal leave as good for both dads and babies — yet just 36 percent of fathers reported taking more than two weeks of leave when their child was born, and 64 percent said they took two weeks or less, according to a new analysis.
Published in Pediatrics, the study is part of a first-of-its kind initiative that measured fathers' behavior and health in the months before and after their children's birth.
