Abstract

Babies need excellent care to grow healthy and prevent mental and physical disease later on. Dutch parents are advised to provide routine immunizations, exclusive breastfeeding, and nightly room-sharing in the first 6 months after delivery. However, a large number of babies do not receive this recommended care. Researchers will find out whether the COVID-19 crisis is worsening this situation or, unexpectedly, provides an opportunity for more parents to offer the recommended care to their babies.
