Περίληψη:
Mothers have been very hesitant about breastfeeding when they have COVID-19 infection or vaccinations. Maternal milk protects neonates through its high biological value, immune factors and anti-infectious molecules and this review shows that the virus that causes COVID-19 is not transmitted through breast milk. COVID-19 vaccines induce anti-spike antibodies with neutralising capacity, and phagocytosis, and no vaccine particles or messenger ribonucleic acid have been detected in breast milk. Most drugs used for maternal COVID-19 infections are safe for breastfed infants. Conclusion: The clear benefits of breastfeeding by far outweigh the very low risk of infant infections from COVID-19. © 2023 Foundation Acta Paediatrica. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
