As ADHD midwife & NeuroNatal® founder Laura Spence writes in her blog for the MMHA:

ADHD affects more than just attention, it impacts emotional regulation, sensory processing, and executive function. These are the very skills that new mothers rely on to manage feeding schedules, lack of sleep, and the relentless demands of newborn care. For ADHD mothers, even the simplest tasks can feel impossible, leading to guilt, anxiety, and burnout at higher rates than their neurotypical peers.
