Abstract

The growing number of women who wish to have children with chronic diseases has resulted in a lack of knowledge regarding the management of the process during breastfeeding. The difficulties experienced by mothers with chronic diseases during the breastfeeding period have a negative impact on the success of breastfeeding. If healthcare personnel adopt a proactive approach and are equipped to manage breastfeeding issues, it will facilitate the achievement of breastfeeding goals by mothers with chronic diseases. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the current literature on breastfeeding issues, experiences, medication use, and management in mothers with chronic disease.
