Shorter hospital stays prevent mothers from receiving adequate support on lactation and result in unreadiness at postpartum discharge. Telehealth has been a critical tool during the pandemic, allowing timely and safe clinical care. Its rapid implementation has been pivotal in ensuring prenatal and postpartum care among vulnerable populations.
Days 1 – 45 were defined as month one, and the remaining days as month two. Maternal demographics, delivery characteristics, and feeding status were obtained. The researchers described breastfeeding initiation as breastfeeding in the first week of life. Exclusivity was defined as breastfeeding alone, without supplemental formula, during subsequent pediatric contacts.
Findings The researchers included 285 mother-infant dyads in the study. Fifty-four mothers were SARS-CoV-2-positive; their infants were SARS-CoV-2-negative at/before discharge. Maternal/infant characteristics, delivery characteristics, and maternal demographics between SARS-CoV-2-positive and -negative mothers were not significantly different.
