“…Regarding the comparison between infected/suspected and non-infected women, we observed: higher proportions of women who had a vaginal delivery and breastfed after delivery in non-infected women and higher proportions of non-infected women, with no indication for cesarean section at the time of admission and who breastfed within the first hour after delivery - when compared to infected/suspected women. Finally, regarding the multivariate analysis of the pre-pandemic period, we observed that women who had fewer than 7 prenatal consultations reduced, on average, 0.36 times the chance of breastfeeding after delivery (p = 0.007). …”
