The main modes of transmission of the new coronavirus include droplet transmission from talking and coughing, and contact transmission through hand contact followed by eye rubbing, nose picking, and mouth touching behaviors. There is no evidence that the new coronavirus can be transmitted to the baby through breast milk. If the mother is healthy and has no history of exposure and no suspicious symptoms such as cough or fever, breastfeeding is allowed. However, if the mother is a confirmed case or has not recovered from a confirmed case, or is a suspect under medical observation at a designated site, she should not breastfeed to avoid infection of her infant.
