Hi Lactnetters,
I thought that some might be interested in two papers I have had
published in the last couple of weeks.
1. Looks at COVID-19 maternal and newborn care guidelines from 101
countries. "Despite the WHO recommendations, many COVID-19 maternal
and newborn care guidelines failed to recommend skin-to-skin contact,
rooming-in, and breastfeeding as the standard of care. Irregular
guidance updates and the discordant, but influential, guidance from
the United States Centers for Disease Control may have been
contributory. It appeared that once recommendations were made for
separation or against breastfeeding they were difficult to reverse. In
the absence of quality evidence on necessity, recommendations against
breastfeeding should not be made in disease
epidemics."https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2022.1049610/full
2. Presents a case study of a woman who had a transgender
identification as a teen and young adult, had a mastectomy,
detransitioned and when she later had a baby, deeply grieved her
inability to breastfeed. The case study itself is quite moving but we
also have some very practical recommendations to assist health
providers in supporting those who have had chest masculinisation
mastectomies.https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgwh.2023.1073053/full
