For new families giving birth in a hospital setting, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented numerous challenges to their birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum experiences. We present experiences of three first-time, healthy mothers and their babies, as they gave birth in the hospital and were breastfeeding during the start of the pandemic in Philadelphia, PA. Each case is framed in the mother's prenatal goals, infant feeding intentions, birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum experiences. Shared concerns and experiences among the three participants are described in five key areas: 1) Recommendations changing every day, 2) Guilt, concern, and stress, 3) In-person versus telehealth visits, 4) Missing time with family and friends, and 5) Silver linings. Through these mothers' experiences, nurses and other health care providers can learn from their perceptions and events and proactively work to ensure we provide sound anticipatory guidance, enhance our communication, and improve provision of evidence-based lactation care and support.
对于在医院分娩的新家庭来说，COVID-19 大流行给他们的分娩、母乳喂养和产后体验带来了诸多挑战。我们介绍了宾夕法尼亚州费城 COVID-19 大流行开始时，三位初次分娩的健康母亲及其婴儿的经历。每个案例都以母亲的产前目标、婴儿喂养意图、分娩、母乳喂养和产后体验为框架。三位参与者的共同关注点和经历在五个关键领域中进行了描述：1）建议每天都在变化，2）内疚、担忧和压力，3）面对面与远程医疗访问，4）与家人和朋友的相处时间减少，5）一线希望。通过这些母亲的经历，护士和其他医疗保健提供者可以从她们的看法和事件中学习，并积极主动地确保我们提供合理的预期指导，加强沟通，并改善基于证据的母乳喂养护理和支持。
