“…This underscores the importance of screening caregivers for poor mental health in the first year after birth of the infant, during clinical visits and well-child visits. 34,35 Access to and support from lactation specialists provide additional opportunities to evaluate caregiver health and wellbeing particularly for low-income families and families of color. 36 Further research is therefore warranted to explore the complex interplay between formula availability, infant…”

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of the 2022 infant formula shortage on self-reported anxiety and depression. Background: The US national infant formula shortage of 2022 originated from supply chain disruptions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the shortage was further compounded by a recall of tainted formula products. Methods: We used survey-weighted data from the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) to measure self-reported anxiety and depression among individuals with formula-fed infants less than 1 year of age. We evaluated the association between 2 formula disruption variables (being impacted by the infant formula shortage or having difficulty obtaining formula in the last 7 days) with 2 mental health outcomes (anxiety and depression) using multivariable logistic regressions. Results: We found increased odds of self-reported anxiety (aOR: 3.13; P < .001) and depression (aOR: 3.05; P = .005) for respondents affected by the infant formula shortage. There were no adjusted associations between having difficulty obtaining formula in the last 7 days and anxiety and depression. Conclusions: Individuals affected by the infant formula shortage had increased odds of both anxiety and depression. Continued efforts to improve food security for low-income infants is critical for ensuring equitable nutritional and health outcomes across infant populations. Implications for practice and research: Continued efforts to reduce food insecurity for low-income infants are critically needed, as infant nutrition impacts caregiver mental health and infant health. Efforts to improve lactation support and breastfeeding initiation are needed in addition to improvements in access to formula.

“…Health care professionals should follow the ACOG recommendations that all obstetric care providers complete an assessment for depression and anxiety at least once in the perinatal period. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends expanding screening through infant's 1, 2, 4, and 6-month well child visits (38). The ACOG also recommends that providers complete a full assessment of mood and emotional well-being during the comprehensive postpartum visit using a validated instrument.…”

Postpartum depression affects nearly a quarter of women up to a year after childbirth. Although it is treatable, significant barriers to help-seeking prevent women from being treated. This paper assesses key literature on the barriers for help-seeking among women with postpartum depression. The barriers identified have been mapped onto the socio-ecological model in addition to potential recommendations that professionals can use to address barriers on individual, interpersonal, organizational, community and societal levels. The recommendations provided are meant to serve as leverage points for professionals in efforts to create appropriate support and interventions. As such, this paper serves as a mapping tool for healthcare and public health professionals to assess obstacles to women's help-seeking and to guide multi-pronged interventions on various levels of the socio-ecological model that may increase help-seeking among women with postpartum depression. Holistically and comprehensively providing support to women will require significant effort throughout all sectors of society as opposed to isolated, siloed interventions.

“…Further, with the rising prevalence of maternal morbidity and mortality from mental health conditions, Australian documents suggest screening all mothers for postpartum depression between six to 12 weeks after delivery [50]. Similarly, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening at one, two, four, and six months [51]. The UK has refrained from these additional contacts for mental health conditions due to the lack of appropriate screening tools as they tend to provide a high number of false positives [52].…”

Introduction Guidelines and other strategic documents were collated to understand the extent of the global use of terms postpartum and postnatal along with the duration and schedule of maternal care after delivery. Methods Postpartum care guidelines and strategies published in English, by international organisations including the World Health Organization, and countries in either the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development or Group of 20 were included in this scoping review. All documents available online with unrestricted access and published before May 31, 2023, were included. The evolution of the World Health Organization’s definition of the period after delivery for mothers and the changes in the schedule of routine maternal care following delivery over time were displayed pictorially. A summary table was then developed to present the level of similarities and differences in the latest available documents from the international organisations and countries belonging to either the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development or the Group of 20. Results Ten documents from the World Health Organization, one from the European Board, and 15 country-level guidelines from six countries met the inclusion criteria. The interchangeable use of ‘postpartum’ and ‘postnatal’ is common. While the World Health Organization mentions the definitive length (six weeks) of the postpartum/ postnatal period, it is not stated in documents from other organisations and countries. Additionally, the length and schedule of routine maternal care after delivery vary substantially between organisations/countries, spanning from six weeks to one year with two to six healthcare contacts, respectively. Conclusion Through this review, we make a case for a universal harmonisation of the term postpartum when referring to mothers after delivery; add clarity to the documents on the rationale for and duration of the postpartum period; and extend the routine maternal care schedule after delivery to support women in this vulnerable period.
