Breast milk protects against many illnesses and is the best source of nutrition for most infants. In limited studies, COVID-19 has not been found in breast milk. Your doctor can help you make the right decision for you and your baby. If you choose to breastfeed or pump while you have COVID-19, the CDC recommends wearing a face mask during feedings, washing your hands before each feeding, and washing your hands before touching any pump or bottle parts.
