NURS 2527 professional practice

Review the current WHO recommendations regarding breastfeeding and Covid 19 RNAO BPG to address the following questions: How would you answer your patient’s question regarding whether or not her baby can contract Covid-19 if she chooses to breastfeed (consider a mother who is diagnosed with Covid 19 infection, as well as a woman who may be asymptomatic); what advice would you give to minimize the risk of transmission? Identify one concept regarding breastfeeding and Covid-19 transmission that is poorly misunderstood – how would you explain this (in laymen’s terms) to a new mother and family? What further research is required? How might the Covid-19 pandemic impact your postpartum mother’s psychosocial well-being, and what supports might be recommended to optimize maternal and newborn health during this time?
