Ang buwan ng Agosto ay idineklarang National Breastfeeding Awareness Month sa ilalim ng Republic Act 10028 o ang “Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009”. Ang tema ngayong taon ay “I-BIDA ang pagpapasuso tungo sa wais at malusog na pamayanan!” Ito ay naglalayon na magkaroon ng kaalaman ang bawat isa sa kahalagahan ng pagpapasuso.
Ngunit ngayong panahon ng pandemya ng COVID-19 ay marami ng naapektuhan. Kasama na dito ang mga sanggol o mga bata, mga buntis, nagpapasuso at mga matatanda na kabilang sa tinatawag na nutritionally vulnerable groups.
Dahil sa banta ng sakit na COVID-19, marami ang nagtatanong “Pwede bang magpasuso ang isang ina kung siya ay isang suspected o positive sa COVID-19?”
Ayon sa WHO (World Health Organization), wala pang pag-aaral na magpapatunay na ang COVID-19 ay maisasalin sa pamamagitan ng pagpapasuso. Kaya hinihikayat ang mga nanay na may sanggol na patuloy na magpasuso sa gitna ng pandemya alinsunod sa itinakdang alituntunin sa pag-iingat o ang Minimum Health Standards. Isa na dito ay ang pagsusuot ng mask ng ina habang nagpapasuso. Kinakailangan din ang palagiang paghuhugas ng kamay lalo na bago hawakan ang sanggol. Inirerekomenda din ang paggamit ng tisyu kung uubo at ang pagtatapon agad nito sa tamang lalagyan. Kung sakali naman na ang ina ay magkaroon ng malubhang sintomas at kinakailangan na dalhin sa health facility, maaari pa din nyang ipagpatuloy ang pagbibigay ng gatas sa kanyang sanggol sa pamamagitan ng pag-hand express ng kanyang gatas. Maaari din magkaroon ng donasyon ng breastmilk mula sa ibang nagpapasusong ina o kung mayroong Human Milk Bank sa lugar. Kung nagpapasuso ay pinapayuhan din ang pagdistansya sa ibang tao.

SAN FERNANDO CITY, Aug. 16 (Anne Hazel Flores, PIA-1) - Breastfeeding is still best for babies up to two years of age. While this sounds a cliché, indeed it is a fact.
But what if a mother gets infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019)? Can she still breastfeed her child?
The answer is a big YES.
In a recent episode of the Kapihan sa Ilocos of the Philippine Information Agency Region 1, the Department of Health-Center for Health Development (DOH-CHD) in the Ilocos reiterated that lactating mothers could give their babies breast milk even if they are infected with COVID-19.
“The virus has not, to date, been detected in the breastmilk of any mother with confirmed or suspected COVID-19,” said DOH-CHD 1 nutrition program manager and nutritionist-dietician Jovita Leny Calaguas.
She said that a mother should continue to breastfeed but has to implement appropriate hygiene measures, including wearing of a medical mask to reduce the possibility of droplets with COVID-19 being spread to her infant.
“While wearing a medical mask, it is important to replace masks as soon as they become damp, dispose them immediately, and remember not to re-use it again and strictly avoid touching the front but untie it from behind,” she added.
