Can breast milk transmit corona virus to infants?

 

As the novice coronavirus spreads around the world, so do breastfeeding mothers.

So far no case has been reported in which a child has contracted code 19 from breast milk, but the question was whether there was a risk of transmitting the virus. A new medical study in the United States Research from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the University of California, Los Angeles has shown that there is no risk of transmitting the virus to children from breast milk.

The study, published in the online edition of the medical journal JAMA, collected 64 milk samples from 18 mothers across the United States who had been diagnosed with the corona virus.

The virus was not detected in 63 of the 64 samples, while one tested positive for viral RNA, but further tests showed that the virus was unable to replicate itself and that there was no risk of disease in the baby. "Diagnosing viral RNA doesn't mean the disease, in fact the virus has to increase its numbers to make someone sick, and we didn't find that in any of the samples," he said. "The results suggest that breast milk." It does not cause code 19 in the baby. However, mothers were advised to wash their hands thoroughly before breastfeeding.

According to researchers, due to the lack of data, some mothers infected with the corona virus decide not to breastfeed their babies. We hope that these findings and future research will help women to reassure themselves that they can breastfeed their babies. Don't miss out, breast milk has great benefits for both mother and baby.

He said he would continue his work, with full confirmation that the breast milk was virus-free, with a view to whether it contained active antiviral ingredients.

For example, antibodies that are made in women who defeat Corona virus and pass on to babies through milk, protecting them from code 19.
