“…To reduce personal protective equipment use, staff minimized the number of times they entered patient rooms; consequently, interruptions may have been reduced (Grimm, 2020). Reducing interruptions by hospital staff gives families more continuous time with their infants, increases the percent of breastfeeding infants, and increases exclusive breastfeeding rates (Grassley et al, 2018; Lawrie et al, 2021).…”

Background: Because of its many benefits, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is a common public health goal. However, only 44% of infants aged 0–6 months are exclusively breastfed worldwide and, in the United States, only 26% of infants are exclusively breastfed for 6 months. The restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic may have reduced these rates even further. Research Aim: To examine the differences in breastfeeding exclusivity and satisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional, two-group survey design was used. Parents ( N = 110) of infants born April 1 to December 31, 2019 (pre-pandemic; n = 69), or April 1 to December 31, 2020 (during the pandemic; n = 41), who received lactation support services from an urban academic breastfeeding clinic were surveyed. Results: Respondents who gave birth in 2020 (pandemic year) were no less likely to exclusively breastfeed for the first 6 months of their infant’s life compared to respondents who gave birth in 2019 (pre-pandemic year). After multivariable logistic regression, the odds of high breastfeeding satisfaction were 73% lower in respondents with infants born in 2020 than in respondents with infants born in 2019 (OR = 0.27, 95% CI [0.08, 0.89]). The strongest contributor to high breastfeeding satisfaction was a prenatal breastfeeding visit with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. Conclusions: Future research is needed to identify the specific pandemic-related factors that led to the difference in breastfeeding satisfaction between the two groups and to confirm the impact of prenatal International Board Certified Lactation Consultant visits on breastfeeding satisfaction.
