COVID-19パンデミック下の母乳育児とその関連要因：持続可能な開発へのリスク

to assess breastfeeding during the first six months of life of children born during the COVID-19 pandemic, identify associated factors and discuss them based on the Sustainable Development Goals.

a longitudinal study conducted with 127 mother-baby dyads born in the pre-vaccination phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed from birth to the sixth month of life. Variables for dyad identification, postpartum depression, bonding, feeding and breastfeeding practices were collected, with data subjected to descriptive and inferential analysis.

a high percentage of early weaning was observed, especially in the first month, associated with the use of a pacifier (p=0.019), difficulty breastfeeding (p=0.015), both in the first month of life, early weaning (p=0.001) and early formula introduction (p=0.001).

shorter breastfeeding time and high percentage of early weaning observed in children born during the pandemic may compromise the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
