WHO recommends continuing breastfeeding during COVID-19 infection and after vaccination, WHO

The virus that causes COVID-19 has not been detected in breastmilk, according to a limited number of studies to date, indicating that it is safe to carry on breastfeeding, while taking recommended precautions, even if a mother develops COVID-19. Vaccinating a breastfeeding mother to protect her from COVID-19 poses no risk to her infant. Breastfeeding mothers who have received the vaccine have antibodies in their milk, which could help to protect their babies from infection with the virus.
