Nanny's are an option in which neither parent needs to stay home from work. Regardless however, kids aren't something you need to have, if you dont have the time/money you shouldn't have them. Don't get whats not clear about that.

1. Goat is probably right that a year would be a bit extreme.
2. Nanny's aren't really an option for the first couple months, though after 5 months or so(not a parent, wouldn't know) you'd probably be fine.
3. Most people have kids in their twenties, when they don't really have a super stable job or solid means of decent income(or a large savings account). Having kids in your forties or thirties can be unappealing to some people(besides the fact that fertility starts to decline at age around 30.)
So, why should we force young people who want to have kids when they are young and capable to take on debt? Not saying that it should be a year, but even two months would help.
Plus, that doesn't go by the fact that usually people in their twenties have other loans(car, house, student) that they will also be paying.
