“…31 It is also crucial given connections of high maternal mortality to racial inequities, low numbers of hospitals providing maternity care, and workforce shortages for health care positions, such as nursing. [31][32][33] Articles by Harmon et al, 34 Nawaz et al, 35 and Bakshi et al 36 share a primary emphasis on expanding access to health protective resources. In rural Alaska homes lacking access to piped water, installing in-home handwashing stations expanded access to clean water as a condition vital for health, the importance of which increased when basic hygiene practices, such as handwashing, were recommended to reduce the spread of COVID-19.…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered maternal healthcare delivery, including breastfeeding practices. Our study investigated the influence of nurses, midwives, and doulas on breastfeeding education and rates, with a specific focus on changes that transpired during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods Using a cross-sectional design, we performed a secondary data analysis on a stratified systematic sample of forty-six U.S. states and New York City respondents who completed the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) Phase 7 (2012–2015) and Phase 8 (2016–2020) surveys (n = 193,068). Descriptive analyses and adjusted multivariable logistic regression models reporting adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to assess associations between the provision of breastfeeding guidance to mothers from nurses, doulas, or midwife healthcare professionals; breastfeeding/pumping rates; and the COVID-19 pandemic.Results Our findings revealed that participants who received breastfeeding guidance from nurses, midwives, or doulas were twice as likely to have engaged in breastfeeding or milk pumping for their infants than participants who did not receive breastfeeding education (aOR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.89–2.11, p ≤ 0.0001). Additionally, participants who gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic were notably less likely to receive breastfeeding education from a nurse, midwife, or doula than were those who gave birth before the pandemic (aOR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.88–0.96, p ≤ 0.0001).Conclusion Our study underscores the vital role that healthcare professionals play in educating, advocating for, and promoting breastfeeding behaviors. This further highlights the pressing need for sustained efforts to support breastfeeding initiatives and address disparities in maternal and child health, particularly in the context of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
