WE'VE REORGANIZED THE COVID-19 RESOURCES LISTS!
COVID-19 INFORMATION AND RESOURCES: PREGNANCY, BREASTFEEDING AND NEW MOMS
This column contains material relating to pregnancy and breastfeeding plus some for new moms. As in the other columns, many of these resources have more resources in them!
Are pregnant women more susceptible to COVID-19? Currently, there is no scientific information that states susceptibility of pregnant women to COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that the immunologic and physiologic changes that pregnant women experience might make them more susceptible to respiratory infections that could include COVID-19. It is important that pregnant women engage in normal preventive measures to avoid infections, such as hand washing and avoiding encountering people who are sick.
Transmission through Breastmilk. Currently, there is no evidence of the coronavirus being found in breastmilk or about the transmission of the virus through breastmilk. A mother with confirmed COVID-19 or who is possibly symptomatic should take all precautions to avoid spreading the virus to her infant, including washing her hands before touching the infant and wearing a face mask, if possible, while breastfeeding.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) published a "Practice Advisory" on COVID-19 on March 13, 2020, in which they state, "Currently available data on COVID-19 does not indicate that pregnant women are at increased risk." Later in the document, it states, "There are rare exceptions when breastfeeding or expressed breast milk is not recommended." Here is the link for this detailed resource paper: https://www.acog.org/Clinical-Guidance-and-Publications/Practice-Advisories/Practice-Advisory-Novel-Coronavirus2019
The American Academy of Pediatrics has an article dated March 16, 2020, titled, "COVID-19 less severe in children than adults: study." Click here: https://www.aappublications.org/news/2020/03/16/coronavirus031620
