Include Breast feeding women to criteria when testing for potential Coronavirus
Include breastfeeding women in the testing criteria for possible coronavirus.
Breastfeeding mums should be tested. The reason behing it is science. Immunity/antibodies is passed from mum to baby when the mums immune system is triggerd. If a breastfeeding mum contracts coronavirus and then recovers her breast milk will include these antibodies naturally to protect her baby/aid her baby to recover if they already have it too.
Therefore breastmilk may offer antibodies to those most vulnerable now.
