Abstract

Breastfeeding is the isolated strategy that most prevents infant deaths, in addition to promoting the physical, mental and psychological health of the child and the woman who breastfeeds. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on breastfeeding success over the first 6 months of life. This is a cohort, multicenter, comparative and analytical study. The exposed group will be composed of dyads exposed to SARS-CoV-2 during any stage of the gestational period. The unexposed group consists of dyads that were not exposed to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy. It is estimated, by the sample calculation, 600 dyads, 300 in each group. Participants in both groups will be assessed for breastfeeding technique, emotional aspects such as stress levels,
