As nurses, we must continue to promote and protect the use of human milk and breastfeeding during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. We should continue access to online and virtual breastfeeding help but expand opportunities for in-person technical breastfeeding assistance in pediatric offices and in the community. Our breastfeeding expert, Dr. Spatz, offers suggestions for promoting breastfeeding during the pandemic and beyond.
作为护士，我们必须在 COVID-19 大流行期间和之后继续提倡和保护人乳喂养和母乳喂养。我们应该继续提供在线和虚拟母乳喂养帮助，但也要扩大儿科诊所和社区的面对面技术母乳喂养援助机会。我们的母乳喂养专家 Spatz 博士提供了在大流行期间及以后促进母乳喂养的建议。
