Motherly's 7th Annual State of Motherhood Report launched today. The annual survey, with nearly 6,000 respondents, conveyed that today’s mothers continue to parent without adequate support. Key findings from this year include: Gen Z moms are signaling a continuing future birth rate decline: Today’s moms under 30 are 2 times as likely to NOT plan for more children than moms of the same age in 2019, citing financial, childcare, global, environmental and medical concerns (69% in 2024 vs. 35% in 2019). Childcare access and affordability issues continue to impact mothers’ ability to work: 66% of moms note that the stress and cost of childcare has made them consider leaving the workforce, up 14% from 2023. These sentiments are highest among Gen Z at 82%. One quarter of all moms report receiving regular financial support from their parents: Gen Z moms are twice as likely to have help from their parents compared to their own mothers' generations (Gen X+). In this election year, more than 85% of moms over 30 support federally mandated paid leave, regulation to address climate change, federally protected reproductive rights and increased gun control policies. Surprisingly, moms under 30 are 3x LESS likely to support the same policies, possibly signaling apathy. https://lnkd.in/dQd7maFM

Last week, as parents across the country prepared to send their kids back to school, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued an advisory saying that 4 in 10 parents are so stressed they *can’t function* most days. And wow, did he strike a chord for parents everywhere! According to the report, American parents are so stressed out by the high costs of childcare, education and health care that it has become a public health problem. Investing in child care may not solve the problem entirely, but when financial stress is the top reason why parents are struggling, making child care more affordable is a great place to start. That’s why we are mobilizing moms and parents across the country to #GetChildCareontheRecord up and down the ballot to prioritize bold, transformative solutions to fix our broken child care system. You can join us to take action here: https://lnkd.in/ez7vwShn Shout out to Motherly® for detailing ways for moms to mobilize this election season: https://lnkd.in/gA9V5FMK

According to the survey, the average parent receives around four emails a day related to their children, their school, and extracurricular activities. For those (like me) who are bad at math, that comes out to around 20 emails a week, or over 80 a month. How many emails do you receive about your kids school and activities each day?

🚨We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get affordable child care passed in the U.S. But to seize this moment, we need candidates up and down the ballot to be loudly championing child care during election season. Because if candidates aren’t saying they’ll prioritize child care now, they sure as hell won’t do anything about it when they are in office. Join us and Moms First to #GetChildCareontheRecord! There are 3 simple but powerful actions you can take: 🙋♀️Attend a Local Event ✍️Write a Letter to the Editor 📢Get Loud on Social Media We’ve made it super easy to take action.

In his report, Murthy cites a bleak statistic issued by the American Psychological Association (APA) in 2023: 41% of parents say that most days they are so stressed they cannot function and 48% call their stress “completely overwhelming.” #parenting #workingparents

Unsure what to do when you think your child has a speech disorder? Kate Eberle Walker, CEO of Presence contributed to Motherly with her advice on what to do.
When our CEO Kate Eberle Walker was told to "watch and wait" when her daughter started showing signs of a speech disorder, she knew something had to change. As the CEO of Presence, she knew there was a better way through teletherapy. Fast forward to today, families no longer have to wait helplessly. Remote evaluations are revolutionizing how we access experienced clinicians, offering faster, more affordable solutions. Read her full article in Motherly® to learn more about how you can advocate for your child through our new service, Via by Presence. Every child deserves timely support to thrive! https://lnkd.in/gvsqwhqf https://via.presence.com/

“We need a culture that understands the health benefits of breastfeeding and the logistical challenges that breastfeeding presents, particularly for parents who need to be away from their baby for long periods of time, as is true for those who work outside of the home.” -Sascha Mayer, Mamava Cofounder, for Motherly® The PUMP Act, passed in December 2022, protects breastfeeding parents at work, but significant gaps remain in awareness and access to necessary infrastructure. Mamava is committed to closing that gap through infrastructure and support for breastfeeding. #NationalBreastfeedingMonth #employeeexperience #humanresources
