Abstract

Purpose of review: This review serves to account for the published literature regarding the changing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with a focus on neonatal nutrition in low- and middle-income countries.

Recent findings: Initial national and international guidelines regarding breastfeeding were often contradictory. Lack of clear guidelines resulted in separation of mother-neonate dyads and the reliance on non-human sources of milk at institutional levels. Mothers and families were less likely to initiate and/or continue breastfeed during the pandemic due to confusion regarding guidelines, lack of support for lactation, and concern for infection transmission to their neonates. Continued research in neonatal nutrition, however, continues to support the use of breastmilk as the optimal nutritional source for neonates.

Summary: Despite concerns for increased risk of COVID-19 transmission with breastfeeding, the use of breastmilk with preserved and combined mother-baby care is associated with improved neonatal nutrition.

冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行对新生儿营养的影响:关注低收入和中等收入国家。

综述目的:本综述旨在解释关于COVID-19大流行不断变化的影响的已发表文献，重点关注中低收入国家的新生儿营养。最近的发现:关于母乳喂养的最初的国家和国际指南经常是相互矛盾的。由于缺乏明确的指导方针，导致母子二人分离，并在机构层面依赖非人类奶源。母亲和家庭在大流行期间开始和(或)继续母乳喂养的可能性较小，原因是对指导方针的混淆、缺乏对哺乳的支持以及对新生儿感染传播的担忧。然而，对新生儿营养的持续研究继续支持将母乳作为新生儿的最佳营养来源。摘要:尽管人们担心母乳喂养会增加COVID-19传播的风险，但使用母乳并进行保存和母婴联合护理可改善新生儿营养。
