Various studies bared the facts about childcare adopted by working mothers, raising a question on the understanding of the household dynamics and childcare methods embraced. 

The conclusions are newest in a string of differing information on the impact on child health of major proportion of mothers opting for jobs and moving out to make earning. UK reports 60 percent of women with children under the age of 5 are employed.

One study suggested that full time and part time mother's compromise on their children's eating habits and education, as compared to their stay- at -home counterparts. Other stressed that the former are less likely to harm the emotional and intellectual development, and yet another reported that the children of mothers who work part-time are healthier than those of their full-time or stay-at-home counterparts.

Allowing their children to foster under the grandparents' care is a lucrative option for mothers, but accompanied by a drawback of a child becoming overweight. It has also been found that nurseries effect the child's education and immune system favorably, but can also lead to an increase in the stress levels of toddlers.

"Flexible working and better childcare is key", says Dr Martina Klett-Davies of the Family and Parenting Institute.
