Περίληψη:

COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions on pregnant women and newborns’ management. Guidelines, issued by most international agencies and national bodies, recommend rooming-in and direct breastfeeding. In the early days of this pandemic, breastfeeding practices have been challenged by fear among both parents and healthcare workers occasionally resulting in mother-newborn separation. We herein review current breastfeeding guidelines and discuss remaining questions and challenges. As we are facing the second wave of this pandemic, more information is gathered, especially regarding possible virus transmissibility through breastfeeding, enabling more definite instructions about breastfeeding practices. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
