Abstract: Breastfeeding is the best natural food for infants. In infants with congenital heart disease(CHD), breast milk can reduce the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis, feeding intolerance and growth failure, and improve the overall prognosis. However, there are many obstacles to breastfeeding in infants with CHD as well as lack of related domestic research. This study mainly focuses on breastfeeding status, influencing factors, assessment, implementation and solutions for the infants with CHD, and proposed the future research recommendations on clinical practices, in order to provide reference for the breastfeeding management of infants with CHD in China.
