“…The choice of instrument for assessing breastfeeding in hospitalized neonates should be based on the specific needs and characteristics of each care unit and neonate. It is important to select an instrument that is valid, reliable and fits the goals and objectives of breastfeeding nursing care (León & Huertas-Angulo, 2020). In addition, nurses should receive adequate training in the use of assessment instruments to ensure consistent and accurate application.…”

Introduction: In this research, the issue of the role of nursing in breastfeeding in hospitalized neonates is addressed. Breastfeeding plays a fundamental role in the health and development of hospitalized neonates, and adequate support from nursing staff is essential to promote and facilitate this practice. Objective: To explore the experiences and perceptions of mothers, fathers and nursing staff in relation to breastfeeding in hospitalized neonates, as well as to evaluate the correlation between a good latch of the neonate and the production of breast milk. Methodology: Through a mixed methodological approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methods, to obtain a complete and holistic understanding of this important issue to improve neonatal care. Through in-depth interviews, focus groups, and structured questionnaires, the experiences and perceptions of mothers, fathers, and nursing staff were explored, as well as the correlation between newborn latch-on and breast milk production. Data analysis revealed that the instruments used in this study showed good reliability, with Cronbach's coefficients higher than 0.8. Results: They showed common challenges in breastfeeding, such as the lack of information and emotional support. A significant correlation was found between a good latch of the newborn and a higher production of breast milk. Conclusion: The training of nursing staff and the implementation of support strategies, such as the use of lactation consultants, were identified as key elements to improve breastfeeding care in the hospital setting. These findings support the importance of the role of nursing in the promotion and support of breastfeeding in hospitalized neonates.

Introduction: The scientific literature indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic has exerted an important impact on delivery care and breastfeeding, such as abandoning practices like skin-to-skin contact and early breastfeeding initiation, which offer major benefits for maternal-child health. Objective: To know the experiences undergone by mothers of hospitalized breastfeeding infants regarding educational strategies for breastfeeding maintenance during the COVID-19 post-pandemic period. Materials and methods: A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The population was comprised of 39 mothers of newborns hospitalized in the neonatal unit of the Susana López de Valencia hospital, Popayán (Cauca). Semi-structured interviews and a discussion group consisting of randomly selected mothers who did not know each other were employed as techniques to obtain the information. The semi-structured interviews eased an in-depth search for information until reaching data saturation. Results: Five categories emerged from the analysis: 1) The mothers’ knowledge about breastfeeding; 2) Barriers identified by the mothers in the educational process; 3) Nurses’ willingness to provide support, listen and help; 4) The best strategy concerning breastfeeding education; and 5) The pandemic as a factor that increases fear and apprehension during hospitalization of a child. Conclusions: Knowing the experiences undergone by mothers of hospitalized children regarding breastfeeding allows us to get closer to proposing an educational strategy that includes their needs, previous knowledge, facilitating elements and barriers, to maintain breastfeeding during hospitalization.
