Abstract

Objective: To map the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the breastfeeding process by mothers infected with SARS-CoV-2. Method: Scoping review, in the CINAHL, Elsevier, LILACS, MEDLINE/PubMed, SCOPUS-Elsevier and Web of Science databases, using MeSH and DeCS, between December 2021 and January 2022. Results: 44 articles were included. The analysis led to the emergence of two categories: "Negative repercussions of the pandemic on breastfeeding", such as the reduction of family visits, early weaning, separation from the binomial and psychological repercussions and "Adaptations in the daily care of the binomial and family", which addressed aspects of monitoring of health professionals, in person or virtually, adoption of precautionary measures and lactation by virtual connection. Conclusion: The pandemic contributed to early weaning, adequacy of the family context and the care process, as well as the use of health technologies as a tool for maintaining care.
