“…Among four cross-sectional studies with a total of 152 milk and 70 nipple swab samples, virus transmission was evaluated by RT-PCR and documented in one sample (8.33%), while positive serum antibodies were reported in 24 samples (63.15%) (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Out of 16 milk samples examined in 11 case reports, 6 samples (37.5%) were determined positive by RT-PCR (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26).…”

Context: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the infection control strategies have affected breastfeeding and mother-newborn contact due to the fear of disease transmission to the baby. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of CPVID-19 transmission by reviewing the currently published articles. Methods: In this systematic review, 296 articles were first retrieved from IranMedex, SID, IranDoc, Magiran, Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT), PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, Science Direct, Medline, and Google Scholar search engine using the keywords "breastfeeding", "breast", "vertical transfer", "breast milk", "colostrum", "corona", and "COVID-19". Of the 296 retrieved articles, 16 were eligible for the review. Results: Reviewed articles included four retrospective cross-sectional studies, one cohort study, eight case reports, and three case series. Overall, the studies reported 237 RT-PCR tests on breast milk and/or nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs from mother or baby, and 156 serum antibody measurements in mother or baby. The overall findings indicated a low risk for COVID-19 transmission from mother to infant through breastfeeding, while breastfeeding was detected to transfer the antibodies to the newborn. Conclusions: Due to the low transmission risk, it was recommended that mothers with mild to moderate symptoms should breastfeed their infants with infection control measurements, while mothers with severe symptoms should use pumped breastmilk for feeding their infants.

“…As shown in Figure 1 , the literature search identified 292 records. After removing duplicates and screening titles and abstracts, 114 articles were selected for full-text review, of which 31 studies met the inclusion criteria [ 45 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]. The articles were divided into two groups for review and analysis.…”

“…When both the mother and the infant are infected with COVID-19, regardless of whether the breastmilk sample contains SARS-CoV-2 RNA, studies recommended breastfeeding newborns either directly or with pumped breastmilk, since breastmilk provides many benefits for both mother and neonate [ 69 , 70 , 71 ]. Other studies emphasised that repeated breastmilk samples collected from women after testing positive for COVID-19 did not contain SARS-CoV-2 RNA; however, the risk of transmission through the skin of the breast should be further evaluated.…”

COVID-19: Relationship and Impact on Breastfeeding—A Systematic Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (WHO). One major problem faced is whether breastfeeding by mothers infected with the virus is safe. The objective of this work is to study the impact that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can have on breastfeeding, and whether the virus or antibodies can be transmitted from mother to child through milk. We carried out a systematic review of studies focusing on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on breastfeeding by mothers infected with the virus. The bibliographic search was done through Medline (Pubmed), MedlinePlus and Google Scholar. From 292 records, the title and summary of each were examined according to the criteria, and whether they meet the selection criteria was also analysed. A total of 30 articles are included, of which 26 deal with the study of RNA virus in breastmilk and its involvement in breastfeeding and four on the study of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in milk. Most studies have been conducted in China. Breastfeeding by mothers infected with SARS-CoV-2 is highly recommended for infants, if the health of the mother and the infant allow for it. Direct breastfeeding and maintaining appropriate protective measures should be encouraged. Should the mother’s health condition not permit direct breastfeeding, infants should be fed with pumped breastmilk or donor milk.

“…In the case of admission of preterm infants to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), expressed breast milk was suggested, if available ( 36 ). Overall, among the 231 births from SARS-CoV-2–positive mothers, 13 neonates (5.8%) tested positive within the first 48 hours of life ( 31 – 34 , 36 , 38 , 39 ).…”

“…Breastfeeding was strongly encouraged where both members of the dyad were positive ( 27 , 30 , 31 ), and further investigation was suggested on the role of IgG antibodies ( 27 ) in the possible protective role of breast milk antibodies on the immunity of the infants ( 33 , 35 ). Among the breast milk samples tested for SARS-CoV-2, 27% (3/11) were positive ( 27 , 28 , 30 , 34 , 35 ), but the milk was not considered to be the cause of infection of the infants ( 29 ).…”

Breastfeeding and COVID-19: From Nutrition to Immunity

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Breastfeeding not only provides the optimum source of nutrients for the neonate and its first strong shield against infection but also lays the foundation for somatic and psychological bonding between the mother and child. During the current COVID-19 pandemic, although the guidelines of the relevant international and national agencies recommend breastfeeding by SARS-CoV-2–infected mothers, considerable insecurity persists in daily clinical practice regarding the safety of the infants and the perceived advantages and disadvantages of discontinuation of breastfeeding. This is a systematic review of the currently available information regarding the transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 through or while breastfeeding and the protection against infection that breast milk might provide. The accumulated body of knowledge regarding the role of breast milk in the development of the neonatal immune system and protection against infection by other respiratory viruses is discussed, with a focus on the anti-inflammatory role of the antibodies, microbes, and viruses provided to the infant in breast milk and its relevance to the case of SARS-CoV-2.
