Doubtful claim and/or poor phrasing?

Can someone look into and fix this part of the article? (I'd do it, but I'm not sure what a better way to phrase it would be)

Studies have concluded that an additional week of maternity leave among industrialized countries reduces infant mortality rates by 0.5 deaths per 1,000 live births

That can't possibly mean that USA could get ZERO infant mortality by offering 10 additional weeks of maternity leave, yet if that's not what it means then I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean.

That section (Impacts of United States maternity leave/Health/Child health and development) is extremely biased and relies on only a few sources, many outdated from more than 20 years ago; and is basically a WP:SOAP. I've tagged the section.2A02:2F01:507F:FFFF:0:0:567F:9A36 (talk) 05:10, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
