Abstract
Early in the Covid-19 pandemic maternity hospital practices were jeopardized by guidelines produced by scientific societies to reduce the risk of mother to child transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 infection to a minimum. Subsequent research has documented that skin-to-skin contact in the delivery room, feeding directly to the breast and rooming-in can be considered safe, if infection control measures are concurrently applied. Professionals should not forget the proven benefits of breastfeeding and the importance of early mother-baby relationship whenever taking decisions that might hinder these practices.
Riassunto
All'inizio della pandemia Covid-19 le pratiche ospedaliere di maternità erano messe a repentaglio dalle linee guida prodotte dalle società scientifiche al fine di ridurre al minimo il rischio di trasmissione da madre a figlio dell'infezione SARS-CoV-2. Ricerche successive hanno documentato che il contatto pelle a pelle in sala parto, l'alimentazione diretta al seno e il rooming-in possono essere considerati sicuri, se vengono applicate contemporaneamente misure di controllo delle infezioni. I professionisti non dovrebbero dimenticare i comprovati benefici dell'allattamento al seno e l'importanza della relazione precoce madre-bambino ogni volta che prendono decisioni che potrebbero ostacolare queste pratiche.
