Objective: Breastfeeding management is an area where women who have new babies need information. It is thought that the need for information on breastfeeding has increased even more in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This research is planned as a systematic review to examine the literature on breastfeeding during the COVID-19 pandemic, where the literature is constantly updated, and to present up-to-date information systematically. In this study, Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, Cochrane, Wiley Online Library, Ulakbim Medical Database, Google Scholar databases were searched.
Results: 2436 articles were reached, and according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 7 studies were selected for this systematic review (n=7). Disruptions in professional and social support systems, emotional problems seen as a result of isolation in the postpartum period, and problems in accessing current data with accurate information sources are among the factors affecting breastfeeding during the pandemic period.
Conclusion: Individuals need more up-to-date information and support systems about breastfeeding and breast milk during the pandemic period. It is considered important that health professionals inform society frequently during sensitive periods.
