Netizen Ashmiry shared two photos on Facebook showing the contrast between the color of her breast milk before and after the new crown infection, and pointed out that the thickness of breast milk has also changed. Her photo caption says: "The change in color (of breast milk) shows that my body is producing what Rubi needs, antibodies, extra fat and pure nutrition. Breast milk is amazing and I'm grateful to be able to produce it, especially now. ”

She said the change in the color of her breast milk let her know that something might be wrong with her and her child Rubi, and sure enough, they tested positive for COVID-19 shortly after.

The post was shared by CPR KIDS, a child-centered first aid group on Facebook, and quickly became a hot topic of the day. Health experts say they receive a lot of information from mothers wondering if they can breastfeed their children while they are infected with COVID-19. Expert advice: "The new crown virus has not yet been found in breast milk, but it can spread easily from person to person. Depending on your situation, consult with a midwife or GP and seek advice on the options you feel comfortable with. ”

Many of the page's followers seem to support the woman's choice of breastfeeding. One female netizen wrote: "Antibodies in breast milk have been protecting the baby. Another mother said she began breastfeeding again after her child contracted COVID-19. "When my 15-month-old baby tested positive for COVID-19, I thought it was best to let her drink as much breast milk as she wanted," she wrote. Her symptoms were very mild and I also managed to avoid the infection (two doses of vaccination). I am 100% convinced that breastfeeding will help my children get better and keep my body free of the virus. ”

Others point out that breastfeeding is not a "panacea". One woman warned: "The antibody is limited to IgA, it does not translate into respiratory protection or immunity in the blood, and moms should be very careful." Others say that feeding their children this strangely colored milk makes them feel anxious.
