Key Highlights:
1. Six articles reported the results of breast milk samples tested for SARS-CoV-2 and found all to be negative.
2. Furman and Noble (2020) note that while Holder pasteurization successfully inactivates SARS-CoV-2, it also reduces protective antibodies in human milk; therefore, they recommend infected mothers should continue directly breastfeeding their infants.
3. Four articles specifically promote breastfeeding of newborns when the mother has COVID-19, emphasizing the loss of protective health benefits to newborns when breastfeeding is interrupted
4. On evaluation of safety of medications used to treat COVID-19 among pregnant and lactating women, authors suggest findings warrant further investigation of the therapeutic use of extracted milk antibodies, as well as possible protective effects for breastfed infants.
