According to the World Health Organization, breastfeeding is a natural way to provide nutrients that are very beneficial for the growth and development of babies. Breast milk is the best nutrition that babies need because it contains various substances and antibodies that can increase the body's immunity so it can become a protector (immune) for babies from all types of infections. During the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO and UNICEF suggest breastfeeding even if the mother is COVID-19 suspected/confirmed. The benefits of breastfeeding outweigh the risks of transmission. However, the infection prevention and control must be strictly applied when breastfeeding. This study aims to describe the success of breastfeeding in infants aged 6-12 months born to mothers positive for COVID-19. This research used a quantitative descriptive study design with a cross-sectional approach. Questionnaires were given to 76 mothers with a positive history of COVID-19. The data analysis used was univariate. The results showed that the majority (67.1%) of mothers with positive COVID-19 had received communication, information, and education (CIE) while being treated at the hospital. Most (59.2%) of COVID-19-confirmed mother unable to provide exclusive breastfeeding to their babies. Majority (89.5%) of them have implemented health protocols when breastfeeding well. There was no COVID-19 vertical transmission from mother to child during delivery or breastfeeding in 89.5% and 93.4% subjects, respectively.

“…The WHO consistently advised breastfeeding support during the COVID-19 pandemic, however many breastfeeding mothers reported that they did not receive enough support [3]. During COVID-19 pandemic, the support from the family is essensial to ensure that mothers breastfeed properly [21]. Mothers that confirmed of COVID-19 need to pay attention to the symptoms that occur during breastfeeding while mothers with severe symptoms of COVID-19 could be advised to get donor milk for the baby.…”

Introduction: The breast milk of mothers recovering from COVID-19 has elevated levels of secretory-type antibodies, such as IgG and IgA. Furthermore, these antibodies serve as immunity, which can be passed on to the baby through breastfeeding. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between IgG and IgA levels in breast milk and blood of breastfeeding mothers who recovered from COVID-19 and assess other determinants. Methods: This was an analytical study, which was carried out using 54 participants who were equally divided into two groups, namely case and control. The case group consisted of individuals who were exposed to COVID-19, while the controls were not exposed. Blood and breast milk (each 5 CC) were then collected to determine the levels of IgG and IgA using the Eliza method. Furthermore, the test used 27 blood and 18 breast milk samples. Results: The statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences in the levels of IgG and IgA in the breast milk and blood of the case and control groups. The average IgA in the blood and breast milk of the control was greater compared to the case group. Furthermore, the average IgG in the breast milk of the case group was greater compared to the controls. Based on the results, there was no difference in mean IgG in breast milk in both groups. Conclusion: The results showed that there were differences in mean IgA in the breast milk of both groups. The average IgA in the blood of the controls was greater than the case group, but the IgG in breast milk was lower.
