A number of media outlets in the U.S. and abroad have covered this new report.  The U.K.'s Daily Mail also mentions "a study from the University of Rochester showing that nearly one-third of U.S. parents don't know what to expect from their newborns, or how to help them grow and learn and get along with others."

Does anyone know the author(s) or the title of the University of Rochester study?
