After the "impotence" of lactating mothers, if the body allows and there are no contraindications to breastfeeding, it is recommended to continue breastfeeding. When feeding, it is recommended that mothers wear N95 masks and carefully clean their hands and breasts before breastfeeding.
If a mother is unable to complete breastfeeding due to unwell conditions during the coronavirus infection, she can breastfeed on her behalf. However, mothers should thoroughly clean their hands and all breastfeeding equipment before pumping or expressing milk, wear N95 masks, and thoroughly disinfect breastfeeding tools such as feeding bottles.
