They were admitted for maternity care at a tertiary center between May to September 2020. The data was collected during their hospital stay and subsequently by telephonic or in-person interviews at 4-6 weeks and 8-10 weeks postpartum for contraceptive use, breastfeeding and use of facemask and hand-hygiene.\r\nResults: Sixty-three (59.4%) women had vaginal delivery and 43 (40.6%) required cesarean-section. Only one of the 98 newborns who were tested for SARS-CoV-2 turned out positive. Initiation of breastfeeding was delayed by an average of three days due to preparing the Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) report. Exclusive breastfeeding was practiced by 69% and mixed feeding by 26%. Pre breastfeeding hand hygiene and facemask use declined after discharge (100% to 53.75% at 8-10 weeks postpartum). Out of 106, 86 (81%) women used no contraception at 8-10 weeks postpartum, continued with post-placental-IUD in 8\/106 (7.5%) and tubal-sterilization during cesarean in 8\/106 (7.5%) cases. Only 4\/106 (4%) adopted alternative methods like barrier contraception.\r\nConclusion: The practice of exclusive breastfeeding remains unchanged among women who suffered from SARS-CoV-2 infection in the peripartum period while uptake of postpartum contraception was minimal except for the women who opted for long term contraceptive methods in the immediate postpartum period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18502\/jfrh.v16i1.8595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,12]],"date-time":"2022-02-12T08:30:37Z","timestamp":1644654637000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Breastfeeding and Contraceptive Methods in Women with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus- 2 (SARS-COV-2) Infection in Peripartum Period"],"prefix":"10.18502","author":[{"given":"Reena","family":"Rani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mrinalini","family":"Dhakate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deepti","family":"Goswami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sangeeta","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sangeeta","family":"Bhasin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asmita Muthal","family":"Rathore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anjali","family":"Tempe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7770","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]]},"container-title":["Journal of Family &amp; Reproductive Health"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,17]],"date-time":"2024-12-17T16:51:29Z","timestamp":1734454289000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/publish.kne-publishing.com\/index.php\/JFRH\/article\/view\/8595"},"secondary":[{"URL":"https:\/\/jfrh.tums.ac.ir\/index.php\/jfrh\/article\/view\/1850","label":"UNIVERSITY"},{"URL":"https:\/\/publish.kne-publishing.com\/index.php\/JFRH\/article\/view\/8595","label":"PUBLISHER"}]},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18502\/jfrh.v16i1.8595","relation":{},"ISSN":["1735-9392","1735-8949"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1735-9392"},{"type":"print","value":"1735-8949"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,7]]}}}
