Summary

TLDRThis video highlights the importance of supporting breastfeeding efforts, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the risk of virus transmission, health organizations, including WHO, recommend that the benefits of breastfeeding outweigh the potential dangers. Guidelines suggest that mothers wash their hands, wear masks, and practice good hygiene to protect their infants. Even if too ill to breastfeed, expressing milk for the baby is advised. Breastfeeding offers numerous benefits including optimal nutrition, immune support, and bonding for infants, while helping mothers with postpartum recovery. Alternatives like cup feeding can be used when necessary, avoiding bottle feeding to prevent nipple preference. Studies underscore breastfeeding's role in reducing respiratory issues such as asthma. Health authorities encourage continued breastfeeding while highlighting its critical role in early child development and public health.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The WHO recommends supporting all women to breastfeed, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Key hygiene measures like hand washing, wearing masks, and sanitizing surfaces help protect babies when COVID-19 is suspected or confirmed. Breastfeeding is encouraged even without a mask, as benefits outweigh risks. Mothers too ill to breastfeed should express milk for healthy individuals to feed infants, ensuring care and skin-to-skin contact. The pandemic exposed healthcare delivery issues, with limited breastfeeding access in NICUs. Breastfeeding supports cognitive and psychosocial development, offering protections against illnesses and enhancing mother-child bonds while helping mothers recover post-pregnancy.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:11:40

    Cup feeding serves as an alternative to breastfeeding, especially during challenges like COVID-19, where direct breastfeeding might be hindered. It's safe for low birth weight infants and involves using a cup instead of a bottle to avoid preference for artificial nipples. The WHO's global nutrition targets aim to combat malnutrition, with breastfeeding and cup feeding playing crucial roles. Despite infant COVID-19 cases being mild, breastfeeding offers additional immunological benefits, reducing infection risks and promoting healthier growth patterns. Breastfeeding directly from the breast, rather than using pumped milk, provides significant health advantages, including lower asthma risks.

Mind Map

Video Q&A

  • Why is breastfeeding recommended during the COVID-19 pandemic?

    Breastfeeding is encouraged as it provides vital nutrients and antibodies to the infant, outweighing the potential risk of virus transmission.

  • What hygiene measures are suggested for breastfeeding mothers with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?

    Mothers should wash hands before breastfeeding, wear a mask, sneeze/cough into a tissue, and disinfect surfaces.

  • What is the alternative if a mother is too ill to breastfeed?

    Mothers can express milk to be fed to the infant by a healthy individual.

  • What are some benefits of breastfeeding for babies?

    It provides nutrients, antibodies against diseases, supports brain development, and creates a bond between mother and baby.

  • What benefits does breastfeeding offer to mothers?

    It helps with post-pregnancy weight loss, reduces cancer risks, and promotes natural child spacing.

  • What is cup feeding?

    Cup feeding is an alternative method for feeding infants, especially used when babies cannot nurse directly.

  • Why is cup feeding preferred over bottle feeding?

    Cup feeding may prevent the baby from developing a preference for bottles, making it easier to transition to breastfeeding later.

    perinatal period
  • 00:07:49
    according to our department of health
  • 00:07:52
    surgery added
  • 00:07:54
    that mothers resuspected and or cuvid19
  • 00:07:58
    should continue breastfeeding following
  • 00:08:01
    proper wearing
  • 00:08:02
    masks and frequent proper hand washing
  • 00:08:05
    before and after contact with a child
  • 00:08:08
    among the few cases of cuvid 19
  • 00:08:10
    infection in the children
  • 00:08:12
    most have experienced only mild or
  • 00:08:14
    asymptomatic illness
  • 00:08:16
    and this must be supported with the
  • 00:08:18
    immunological benefits
  • 00:08:20
    of breastfeeding in infants and young
  • 00:08:24
    children
  • 00:08:27
    child research has shown that breastfed
  • 00:08:29
    babies have higher levels of beneficial
  • 00:08:32
    gut bacteria
  • 00:08:33
    and healthier growth patterns than
  • 00:08:35
    babies who are not breastfed
  • 00:08:37
    that breastfed babies have a lower rate
  • 00:08:39
    of wheezing one of the most common
  • 00:08:41
    reasons
  • 00:08:42
    infants are hospitalized or receive
  • 00:08:43
    medical care and that they have a lower
  • 00:08:46
    risk of developing asthma
  • 00:08:48
    as they get older the researchers found
  • 00:08:50
    that these health benefits were greater
  • 00:08:52
    when babies were fed only breast milk
  • 00:08:55
    and for a longer period of time
  • 00:08:57
    but they also found that partial
  • 00:08:59
    breastfeeding or breastfeeding for a
  • 00:09:01
    short time
  • 00:09:02
    is good for babies too in other words
  • 00:09:05
    they found that even a little bit of
  • 00:09:06
    breastfeeding is beneficial
  • 00:09:09
    child researchers have discovered that
  • 00:09:11
    how a baby is breastfed matters too
  • 00:09:14
    meaning there's a difference between
  • 00:09:15
    feeding directly from the breast
  • 00:09:17
    and feeding pumped breast milk from a
  • 00:09:19
    bottle
  • 00:09:20
    among the thousands of babies in the
  • 00:09:22
    child cohort study
  • 00:09:24
    the risk of asthma was lowest among
  • 00:09:26
    those who received
