You have to figure the lack of time off also correlates with the low breast feeding rates in the US.

With studies linking breast feeding to lower Obesity and higher IQ, it isn't just the mothers being screwed but their children as well. It's ridiculously archaic mindset to expect mothers back to work right away, both for them and their children.
