Question: If I have a possible COVID-19 infection, can I breastfeed my baby?

Q. Could I pass coronavirus to my baby?
section_content: As this is a new virus, there is limited evidence about caring for women with
coronavirus infection when they have just given birth. A small number of
babies have been diagnosed with coronavirus shortly after birth, so there is a
chance that infection may have occurred in the womb, but it is not certain
whether transmission was before or soon after birth. Your maternity team will
maintain strict infection control measures at the time of your birth and
closely monitor your baby.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The response really doesn't address whether COVID is transmitted through breastmilk or not. Breastfeeding/breastmilk isn't even mentioned and it is vague.
This does not answer the question. This answer is about covid-19 transmission in the womb or shortly after birth. It does not provide any information on whether or not it is safe to breastfeed a baby if the mother is suspected to be infected by Covid-19.

Q. Will my baby be tested for coronavirus?
section_content: If you have confirmed or suspected coronavirus when the baby is born, doctors
who specialise in the care of newborn babies (neonatal doctors) will examine
your baby and advise you about their care, including whether they need
testing.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. This answer provides information on examining newborn for covid-19 and does not provide any information on whether or not it is safe to breastfeed when the mother is suspected to be infected by Covid-19.
While the response does include advice to consult with your doctor, that isn't really all that helpful, most people are smart enough to know to do that to begin with.

Q. Will I be able to breastfeed my baby if I have suspected or confirmed coronavirus?
section_content: Yes. There is no evidence showing that the virus 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 transmission of
coronavirus through breastmilk. Provided your baby is well and doesn’t require
care in the neonatal unit, you will stay together after you have given birth
so skin-to-skin and breastfeeding can be initiated and supported if you
choose.
The main risk of breastfeeding is close contact between you and your baby, as
if you cough or sneeze, this could contain droplets which are infected with
the virus, leading to infection of the baby after birth.
A discussion about the risks and benefits of breastfeeding should take place
between you and your family and your maternity team. This guidance may change
as knowledge evolves.
When you or anyone else feeds your baby, the following precautions are
recommended:

Wash your hands before touching your baby, breast pump or bottles
Try to avoid coughing or sneezing on your baby while feeding at the breast
Consider wearing a face mask while breastfeeding, if available
Follow recommendations for pump cleaning after each use
Consider asking someone who is well to feed your expressed breast milk to your baby.

If you choose to feed your baby with formula or expressed milk, it is
recommend that you follow strict adherence to sterilisation
guidelines. If you are expressing breast milk in hospital, a dedicated breast
pump should be used. Further information on infant feeding during the
coronavirus pandemic is available from
Unicef.
