## Detailed Description

COVID-19 pandemic emerges an issue for breastfeeding.Earlier in pandemic mothers who had COVID-19 were separated from their babies due to insufficient data but this approach was abandoned due to the lack of transmission via breastmilk.However, where mothers with COVID-19 are cohorted in the same room, they still have to be isolated from their babies following the birth.To our knowledge, there is no study regarding this subject to-date.Therefore, investigators aimed to evaluate rate of exclusive breastfeeding(EB) within first 6 months among mothers who were isolated from their babies due to COVID-19.
