For many mothers, one of the most damaging falsehoods to emerge has been that Covid-19 positive moms can transmit the virus through breastmilk to their little ones, and should stop breastfeeding.
Worldwide, there is currently no evidence that breastfed babies have been infected by mothers who have tested positive to Covid-19. “The benefits of skin-to-skin contact with your baby and breastfeeding as normal are overwhelmingly immune-boosting and protective of your baby’s health.” – Giving babies under six months anything other than breastmilk will cause them to suckle less, will reduce the amount of breastmilk that a mother produces and may make babies sick.
