Zusammenfassung:Abstract A new virus called Sars-CoV-2, or COVID-19, emerged in late 2019 and caused several changes worldwide. In light of this, countries adopted preventive measures against this pandemic, such as social isolation, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and special care with people who are at higher risk, such as elderly, people with hypertension or chronic conditions, and recently newborns, pregnant and puerperal women were also included. For puerperal women breastfeeding, it is an extremely important moment, which, in addition to being a natural feeding moment, it is an opportunity to strengthen the mother-baby bond. Aiming at a more cautious approach to avoid possible transmissions of COVID-19 during breastfeeding, preventive measures can hinder this binomial and bring harm to both. Resumo Um novo vírus denominado Sars-CoV-2, ou COVID-19, surgiu no final do ano de 2019 e causou diversas modificações em todo o mundo. Diante disso, os países estabeleceram medidas preventivas contra essa pandemia, tais quais o isolamento social, uso de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI’s) e cuidado com indivíduos enquadrados nos chamados grupos de risco, como idosos, hipertensos, doentes crônicos e recentemente, as gestantes e puérperas foram inclusas. Para as puérperas, a amamentação é um momento primordial, que, além de um momento de alimentação natural, é uma oportunidade de fortalecer o vínculo mãe-bebê. Visando uma atenção mais cautelosa para uma possível transmissão de COVID-19 durante a amamentação, as medidas preventivas para esse ato podem dificultar esse binômio e trazer prejuízos para ambos.
