Allomothers: Our Evolved Support System for Mothers

"Several studies and reviews have shown that allomothers benefit mother and child. Mothers with more support are more responsive to their children (Hrdy, 2009). They are not so stressed and so can meet the needs of their child in the moment. This leads to secure attachment in the child (Crockenberg, 1981)." ~ Darcia Narvaez, Notre Dame and API Board Member on Allomothers for Psychology Today
