Аннотация

Nutrition of children is a very delicate and responsible topic. In the early stages of life, the baby needs breast milk, because only breast milk can provide the baby’s growing body with all the nutrients and protect it from various diseases in the future. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, many questions arose for doctors regarding the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease, in particular, how should the nutrition of newborn children be carried out, as well as what still outweighs the choice of this or that approach: the risk of infection of the child or the benefits of breastfeeding? There is increasing evidence in the literature that COVID-19 can be transmitted vertically from mother to newborn. This article discusses recommendations on breastfeeding for mothers with the status of COVID-19 in developed foreign countries of the world, including in Uzbekistan.
