Mums are said to be finding it more difficult to return to work after having a baby due to a lack of flexible employment, a lack of affordable, available or suitable childcare, and feeling less confident.
As a result, the organisation is now calling on employers to place a greater emphasis on supporting their staff members who are parents.
Charlene Brooks, Interim CEO at Parenting NI, said: "Pressures on families are ever increasing and the added stress that can come along with being a working parent means it can often take its toll on our health and wellbeing.
"Mums who are working have told Parenting NI they feel guilty about going out to work and worry that not being around as much as they might like could have a negative impact on their children.
"Although this is an understandable concern, mums can take comfort in the fact that research tells us differently. Having a mother who works is beneficial for children, especially girls whose mother's have careers in business or are professionals."
