There have been interesting studies of primitive tribes.

Families with an older woman living in the home show more children surviving to adulthood.

Grandmothers make sure the young mother stays alive during childbirth.
And that the children are fed and taken care of.

Young mothers who have a child every year are stressed and overwhelmed and cannot
care for all the children properly.
