Neonatal management and outcomes during COVID-19
pandemic: an observation cohort study https://t.co/EmNXugBkIT

US study of 120 babies born to mothers with COVID-19 infection found no cases of virus transmission, even after 2 weeks of breastfeeding with hygiene precautions.

There is no evidence showing that coronavirus can be carried or passed on in breastmilk.

The well-recognised benefits of breastfeeding and the protection it offers to babies outweigh any potential risks of the transmission of covid-19 through breastmilk. https://t.co/ll02XCrdCp

"Breastmilk does not appear to play a significant role in transmission of SARS-CoV-2. ,... Mothers with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 can directly breastfeed with appropriate precautions." #Covid19 https://t.co/COqchWMWJT
