Thanks Dr Hasan

Thanks Dr Bita

Genevieve Ellen Becker

Recent WHO info https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-on-covid-19-and-breastfeeding

Remember breastfeeding and human milk for human babies, and keeping mother and baby together are the biological norm. They should not be replaced without good evidence that the alternative being suggested is lower risk than continuing to breastfeed and be together. It is usually a higher risk to health and wellbeing to use alternative feeding and separation of baby and mother.

Thanks Dr.Genevieve

Thats what i thought

In the absence of any information which components of our body are the reservoir of the virus. suspending for a while and using any modalities is advisable.

Ghufran Aljuburi

Yes

Ana Heloisa Nascimento Beserra

Yes, these women can breastfeed their babies, but they can not be a milk donor.

With safety measures in place, a woman infected with Covid-19 and not in severe conditions can breastfeed her baby

Good question

Shno Mustafa Ali

According to a post I was read it yes.

Mariana González Oliveira

If she´s clinically well, she can (and should breastfeed). WHO has got clear recommendations about this matter and while we do not have compelling evidence that the virus might be present in the milk, breastfeedind discontinuation might do more harm then benefice.

THANKS MAM. AGREE WITH YOU.

Thank you Ghufran Mam.

"Yes, babies can still receive breast milk even if you test positive for COVID-19. It is recommended that you pump or express your breast milk after carefully cleaning your breasts and hands and have a healthy caregiver feed your baby the expressed breast milk."
