The extent to which family, economic, and psychosocial factors account for age of initiation, amount, type, and quality of non maternal infant care was examined for 1,281 children in 10 locations around the U.S. Families were enrolled in the study when the infants were born, and information was collected about naturally occurring patterns of regular non maternal care over the first 1) months of the child's fife. Economic factors were most consistently associated with the amount and the nature of the non maternal care that infants received; maternal personality and beliefs about maternal employment also were factors. Infants who began non maternal care between 3 and 5 months of age had mothers who scored highest on extraversion and agreeableness. Children who began non maternal core earlier had mothers who believed that maternal employment had greater benefits for children. More non maternal care was related to fewer children in the family, lower maternal educational, higher maternal income, lower total family income, longer hours of maternal employment, and the mother's belief in the benefits of maternal employment. The type of care was related to the child's ethnicity, household composition, and the mother's concerns about the risks of maternal employment to children.
