Mothers with COVID-19 and Their Newborn Infants: Joint Position Statement MAY 2020

 

The National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) and the National Perinatal Association (NPA) fully support the incorporation of a shared-decision model between the mother and the clinical team to determine the best care for the mother-newborn dyad.

NANN and NPA encourage the ideal scenario, which is to keep mother and newborn together while respecting the unique challenges individual institutions may encounter.
