Ah yes, once you're a parent, everyone will tell you how to raise your kid, and they will all be very sure of themselves. They will all disagree with each other. You have to get used to it.
In particular it sounds like you're an adherent of Dr. Sears. There may be benefits to his techniques. But the whole goal is to have the woman paying constant attention to the baby - which means that the woman never can pay undivided attention to anything else. This does not seem to me to be compatible with running a company, even in the best of times. (Which Yahoo is not in.)
(A random snide remark about Dr Sears. A man with 8 children advocates a child rearing technique where all of the work is done by the mom. Coincidence?)
What I was really thinking was how awesome it would be if Marissa did bring her baby to work every day for the first 6 months or so. That would really be noticeable and would hopefully do a lot to remove some of the bias against women of childbearing age as well as encourage other companies to allow this sort of practice.
As an aside, I was the one that did most of the baby-wearing. My wife has short arms and large breasts, so she was unable to do much with her arms while wearing. My daughters spent a large amount of time in a sling while I was standing up at the computer.
