@@Cathyblj So true, I'm 35 and never had kids myself, never plan to, it just wasn't something I or my partner wanted for ourselves, however... my two older sisters have 3 kids each, and the amount of judgment people pass on new mothers is just disgusting, some people just don't even think twice before they tell you what you're doing wrong in their opinion... they also feel free to ask the most intrusive questions like "are you breastfeeding?"... um, none of your damn business! The unsolicited advice is also a little bit annoying because people just assume that if they have experience with one baby it applies to all babies and that is not true, just like with adults... each baby has her/his own personality and also his/her own set of issues (some are colicky, some are clingy, some are screamers, some are quiet). And the saddest part... everyone is focused and concerned about the baby and how they're being cared for... very few people actually ask how mom is feeling or doing, it's just... wow, no words.

Terrific to see such a high profile actor speak so candidly about perinatal mental health. So many women feel stigmatised, ashamed, and alone, surrounded by a whirl of social media and cultural portrayals telling them they should feel blissful and beatific. As a registered nurse-midwife working in perinatal mental health services, it saddens me that the demand for care far outweighs the supply. Sadder still is the secrecy that surrounds families who need care. Well done, Amanda. Keep having the conversation!

I mean...this isn't a new topic so to center the conversation around social media and [sic] pop-cultural portrayal of what motherhood is like in it's ideal sense is somewhat of a slap in the face to *our* mothers who existed before the internet when those "ideal mom" stereotypes still had an influence even back to '50s TV shows. I'm not saying Amanda doesn't deserve credit for bringing up the issue but it's been going on for over a century now. "Mother's little helper" anyone? If anything, it's making it more of a "celebrity" issue rather than the everyday issue that low-middle income moms (single or partnered) face. I'm not even a mother but I can see how people are only interested in mental health when it comes to a celebrity but not when it comes to their neighbour, co-worker, friend...and that's why nothing changes in terms of social services. If the people advocating are the ones that can afford access to healthcare...no wonder those who are in a lower income bracket never see help.

I had a co-worker who was stressed out at work and the psychiatrist ordered him to have one month of paid work-leave. Stress is a big problem here and the country is embarrassed about it.

I don’t plan to be a parent but nevertheless I think this subject matter really needs to be talked out. Being a parent is perhaps one of the hardest things to do and is a lifelong commitment that there is no training for unless you put it a lot of effort to seek it out yourself and have the resources to do so. I’m glad this film is shedding some light on that experience and our societal attitudes towards parenting and particularly motherhood.

They put me in a mental hospital for two weeks when I had postpartum. My ex threw my baby and we moved across the country in protective custody with no help, no anything. I struggled so hard and I had to leave my baby for two weeks meaning I lost my milk. Baby was 3 months old. I was with other people not with other mothers so it was a terrible experience. We couldn’t go outside Having no option to see sunlight is torture for two weeks!! And this was normal for Michigan We do nothing for our poor moms. Her experience is from a woman with money I was a poor single mom running from domestic violence We had nothing and we’re treated like dirt and it changed how I bonded and my whole first year with my son. It changed how I can function now If we helped these people we would have a world more stable and less crime and violence

The Breastfeeding Bunch is a social group that still gets together weekly with a lactation consultant available, for free. This is another wonderful thing that we can all learn more about and realize the support new mothers need.

This is shocking to me. In Canada we have health nurses that come to check on you in your home once you have the baby, lactation consultant’s, mental health and doctors are part of universal health care and for each check up with mom and baby for the next few weeks, there is discussion on your mental health and if you need assistance. I am so glad I live in a country that values health care as a right not a commodity.

Some toddlers are very adventurous. We called my grandson “Death Wish Boy”.

A friend of mine, single mother, went for a postpartum check up and the very kind nurse asked her if she wanted extra mental health support, ie if she'd like someone to check in with her just to have a conversation. Friend said that would be great and opened up about how hard it can be. The "mental health support" ended up being a visit from child protective services. She told them she was in a better place and no longer needed the support and they told her she should really comply or else they'd come anyway and it would go on her record that she didn't. This kind of treatment makes it even harder for mothers to talk about the realities of how hard it can be. And yet NOT talking about it is way more of a red flag, and makes it far harder to deal with! This was in Canada btw. And after one visit they never contacted her again. So much for support.

Where I live (South Korea), insurance covers almost all of your medical expenses when you’re having a baby. And when you get pregnant the government actually gives you a stipend to help pay for other expenses! Plus the government provides prenatal vitamins free of charge to pregnant women. We also have places called “San-hoo Joriwon” which means “after birth care clinic.” It basically a comfortable 2-week hospital/hotel stay after you give birth. They provide all your food (nutritionally balanced-much better quality than American hospital food), help take care of your baby, and teach you basic skills like how to feed/bathe baby. There are always nurses available around the clock. They even offer parenting classes and massages! The purpose is to take the pressure off the mom so she has time to heal her body, so when you leave you can feel refreshed and ready to take care of your new baby at home.

In the U.K. we have follow up care with healthcare visitors coming to your home to check everything is going ok and give advice and basic signposting. There are a set number of visits, but if things are a little off they keep coming. Also in the first year there are set visits to the doctor to check early development. The service is pre paid through our taxes, so “free at the point of delivery”. We also have statutory paid maternity leave and depending on who you work for you can get longer. It’s not perfect but there are people and services around to help and spot when things are not going well. Plus if you want you can top up by paying privately for more.

This is also a stigma that mothers have to deal with. And, yes, under some insurances, lactation consultants are covered. I appreciate Seyfried taking on a role that has so much nuance.

Your statement also needs some clarification. It's very rare for a mother to be unable to breastfeed due to not producing milk or another condition such as being treated for cancer. The most common barriers that ultimately cause mothers to choose to stop breastfeeding are stress and poor latching, which lactation consultants can assist with. However, this requires additional appointments, which are not free whether your insurance covers them or not and there is no universal access to lactation assistance. What Seyfried is illuding to is the ancient cultural norm - that's all but disappeared in the US - of supporting new mothers and removing all their stress as opposed to taking care of the new baby. Many third-world countries still use this village-support method where the new mother only has to worry about nursing her infant. The "village" cleans, cooks, and even makes sure the new mother has time for relaxing baths through the first 3-6 months. In Uganda, the grandmother will move in with the new parents for no less than 3 months even if they live in the same village because it gives the new mother a higher level of support. Unless the US adopts a model similar to northern European countries with years of leave split between the parents, financial and medical support, and infant supply support, or Americans suddenly accept a grandmother moving into their home, nothing is really going to change. Four weeks is not enough when the recommendation a mother should nurse is at least 6 months.

@@carbine090909 In other developed nations that have extended maternity leave, pumping is not a thing. While you can pump extra to retain milk supply, the best option is always directly nursing your baby. When we pump, our bodies are not responding to a baby and we do not produce those baby-bonding, feel-good hormones that help mothers keep producing milk. Naturally, most mothers will see a decline in production if they are pumping only at their regular nursing times. They would need to pump extra or longer to produce more milk or even keep up with their baby's needs. There is a lot of stress involving pumping in the workplace too. You'd be shocked at how many offices still have no space for mothers to pump or try to offer the bathroom. There's also the fact some mothers cannot simply stop working to pump. Ideally, a mother should go to a private room, relax and pump but many pump during meetings or have to wait to pump and that screws up supply for the next day. Combine all this with a baby who has a lazy latch and a lack of universal postpartum care and this is why most mothers are choosing not to breastfeed.

@@carbine090909 I agree about the cow-like vibes evoked with machine pumping. Do a web search on the history of breasts pumps and you'll find they were developed for home use only in the last two decades or so. Why? Because: money to be made. Prior to that pumps were only used in medical settings on an as needed basis. Aside from that we (nurses) taught mothers how to manually express milk if they wished to set aside a supply. No equipment or pumps were involved, only clean baby bottles. We cant even get Biden's original 12 week proposed family leave in the legislative package due to resistance. If we provided the benefit of many European countries, electronic pumping would not be a thing. It's unnatural and does not synch with maternal lactation hormones, thus can be painful or unpleasant, and throws off the milk production cycle. Your observations are on point.

It's so true that 1 year old boys seem to want to die, keep a big box of new things they haven't seen before, it doesn't matter what it is as long as it is safe, just dump the box in the middle of the living room when you get worn out chasing them.

I hatched 3 little chicks back in junior high as a school project. The simple math is that my dog ate them so 3 minus 3 = zero. LUL! Amanda seems so down to earth. Even the way she dresses is kind of girl next door (If the girl next door lived on a farm).

“I feel safe” Me too, Seth

Everytime I have gotten help for my Depression as a Mother it feels like drowning in a sea of shame. Only.. It's not my shame. It's theirs. Toxic family members. Abusers. Bad doctors. Shame on them.

Favourite characters: Mean Girls: Karen (Amanda) Mamma Mia: Sophia (Amanda) She is a fantastic actress I love her so much

Super nice and obviously intelligent! Wow!!!

What an amazing girl

In the UK they check on you after your birth and they make home visits to answer any questions or concerns. Very sad we don't do that here

Calm Your Precocious Tatas!! is my new phrase!

She's my favorite. Amanda will win an Oscar.

I always come back to her interviews. See my comment from before a year? Yes, i love her. I really do. I think we would be friends. I love her realness and her cute face and her hole vibe. I think we would be best friends. I hope so. 😅😊 I mean i dont know if she would like me, but i guess so. 😅

Everyone: lovely compliments about Amanda and Seth Me: TEAM PIRATE! 🏴‍☠️ 😂

If you pretend 'zooming' is a euphemism, this conversation takes on a whole new meaning.

"He zoomed me twice - it was *wonderful*."

If I was Seth's kid I wouldn't want to be a sea captain for Halloween either.

Amanda is my favorite lawyer.
