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.
COVID-19 大流行引发了人们对孕妇和新生儿管理的关注。大多数国际机构和国家机构发布的指南都建议母婴同室和直接母乳喂养。在这场大流行的早期，由于父母和医护人员的恐惧，母乳喂养的做法受到了挑战，偶尔导致母婴分离。在此，我们回顾了当前的母乳喂养指南，并讨论了尚存的问题和挑战。随着我们面临这场大流行的第二波，更多的信息被收集到，特别是关于通过母乳喂养传播病毒的可能性，这使得我们能够对母乳喂养的做法给出更明确的指导。
