We estimated, using the Alive & Thrive cost of not breastfeeding tool, 4 that a hypothetical effect of small (5%), moderate (10%), medium (25%), or severe (50%) relative reductions in the prevalence of breastfeeding due to COVID-19 disruptions would result in 16 469 (small reduction), 32 139 (moderate reduction), 75 455 (medium reduction), and up to 138 398 (severe reduction) child deaths across 129 LMICs over a 1-year period, plus additional morbidity (appendix).
