Close contact and early, exclusive #breastfeeding helps a baby to thrive.
A woman with #COVID19 should be supported to:
breastfeed safely
hold her newborn skin-to-skin
share a room with her baby

Women with #COVID19 can breastfeed.
They should:
Wash hands with soap and water or use alcohol-based hand rub frequently
Wear a medical mask during any contact with the baby
Sneeze or cough into a tissue
Routinely clean and disinfect surfaces touched

Mothers with symptoms of #COVID19 are advised to wear a medical mask, but even if this is not possible, #breastfeeding should be continued.

Babies should be fed nothing but breast milk for their first 6 months, after which they should continue #breastfeeding and eating other nutritious and safe foods until 2 years of age or beyond.

Breast milk saves children’s lives as it provides antibodies that give babies a healthy boost and protects them against many childhood illnesses.

From the earliest moments of a child’s life, #breastfeeding can mean the difference between life and death.
Babies who are not breastfed are 14 times more likely to die than babies who are exclusively breastfed
