In a tertiary care hospital in India, all COVID\u201019 suspect post\u2010natal mothers awaiting COVID results were transferred to a ward shared with symptomatic COVID suspect female patients from other clinical specialities, due to shortage of space and functional health workforce. Babies born to COVID\u201019 suspect mothers were moved to a separate ward with a caretaker until their mothers tested negative. Due to shortage of beds and delay in receiving COVID results, mothers and babies were often discharged separately 2\u20133\u2009days apart to their home. This deprived babies of their mother's milk and bonding. We, therefore, undertook a quality improvement (QI) initiative aiming to improve rooming\u2010in of eligible COVID\u201019 suspect mother\u2013newborn dyads from 0% to more than 90% over a period of 6\u2009weeks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A QI team was formed which ran multiple Plan\u2010Do\u2010Study\u2010Act cycles. The results were reviewed at regular intervals and interventions were adopted, adapted or abandoned. These included advocacy, rearrangement of wards, counselling of mothers and caretakers regarding infection prevention practices and coordination between labour room, post\u2010natal ward and nursery staff.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>An improvement in rooming\u2010in from 0% to more than 90% was achieved.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>QI methodology is a systematic approach in addressing and solving unexpected unforeseen problems effectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.16051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]],"date-time":"2022-05-31T07:14:37Z","timestamp":1653981277000},"page":"1601-1607","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Enhancement of maternal\u2010neonatal bonding during the COVID\u201019 pandemic: A quality improvement initiative"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0923-5642","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nishtha","family":"Jaiswal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Lady Hardinge Medical College &amp; Smt.
