Some U.S. mothers vaccinated against the coronavirus are sharing their breast milk as research shows it could help spread antibodies to babies.
Mothers who have extra breast milk are donating it to friends and some are trying relactation, getting milk to flow again after breastfeeding has stopped, in order to give COVID-19 antibodies to babies and small children who aren’t eligible for the vaccine, The New York Times reported Thursday. The paper said online forums focused on relactation have in recent weeks been swarmed by newly vaccinated mothers.
Studies have shown that breast milk from mothers who have been vaccinated does contain coronavirus antibodies, but it is unclear how effective it is in protecting children and babies from the virus.
