A new study offers more reassurance that mothers infected with COVID-19 can safely breastfeed their babies.
The study of 55 infants born to moms with COVID-19 found that none contracted the virus even though most started getting breast milk in the hospital.

Researchers said the findings support existing advice from public health authorities. Last year, the World Health Organization said that moms with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 can continue breastfeeding.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that breast milk is not a likely source of COVID-19 transmission, and that infected moms can breastfeed as long as they take some precautions.
