▶️ If you have #COVID19, is it safe to breastfeed your baby❓

▶️ Is it safe to get vaccinated against COVID-19 if you are breastfeeding❓

▶️ How can you keep your baby safe while breastfeeding 🤱 if you have COVID-19❓

Dr Laurence Grummer-Strawn explains in #ScienceIn5.

Learning to express colostrum (early breastmilk) before your baby is born can be one of the first steps in your #breastfeeding journey.

Always consult with your midwife, lactation consultant or doctor before beginning colostrum harvesting.
