The benefits of breastfeeding outweigh the low risk of COVID-19 virus transmission.
▪️ Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most babies and always available without needing extra supplies.
▪️ If you were thinking about formula feeding your new baby, consider offering as much breast milk as you can; this may help boost your baby's ability to fight infections.
