I run a non-profit, the Parenting in the Workplace Institute, that is currently focused on programs in which parents bring their babies to work with them on a daily basis (typically until the babies are crawling, but sometimes longer depending on the business). There are more than 100 organizations with successful babies-at-work programs that have involved more than 1,300 babies to date. The beauty of these programs is the "community effect" that invariably develops when they are structured carefully--coworkers and managers (even many who were highly skeptical of the concept) pitch in to support the parents and help care for and play with the babies, leading to highly content babies and parents who end up tremendously loyal to the organization. Our main site (www.babiesatwork.org) contains extensive information about how and why these programs work. If I can answer any questions about these programs or our work to expand adoption of babies-at-work programs and programs involving older children, or if I can help your organization (for free) to implement a successful program down the road, please let me know.
