LACTATING MOTHERS WITH CORONA POSITIVE

 Breastfeeding protects newborns from getting sick and also helps protect them throughout their infancy and childhood. Breastfeeding is particularly effective against infectious diseases because it strengthens the immune system by directly transferring antibodies from the mother. As with all confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases, mothers with any symptoms who are breastfeeding or practicing skin-to-skin contact should take precautions.

TAKE REGULAR PRECAUTIONS 
  • WASH HANDS MORE FREQUENTLY 
  • WEAR MEDICAL MASK WHILE FEEDING BABY
  • CLEAN SKIN BEFOE FEEDING
