Study: Infected mother’s milk does not transmit “Corona” to the infant.. Rather, it has antibodies

The milk of mothers infected with Covid-19 does not contain traces of the virus, but in return it is a carrier of antibodies, according to a study conducted by the Spanish government research body, which subsequently recommended breastfeeding even in the event of infection.

And this study, which was conducted within an initiative of the Supreme Council for Scientific Research and a university hospital in Valencia and was called “Milk Corona”, showed that none of the breast milk samples that were subjected to analysis did not contain traces of the RNA of the Corona virus, as explained by researcher Maria Carmen. Collado responsible for the project.

But she explained that they contain the antibodies secreted by the mother's body, "which indicates that breast milk is a carrier of antibodies."

Cecilia Martinez-Costa from the Department of Pediatrics at the Hospital Clinico de Valencia stressed that the results of the study confirm "the importance of recommending systematic breastfeeding in all cases where the mother has few or no symptoms at all."

A statement on the study added that it also analyzed the presence of antibodies in the breast milk of 75 women who received the Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca vaccines, and showed that all samples contain antibodies at levels that vary according to the vaccine.

The study also showed that the milk of women who received one vaccine dose after infection with the virus, and the milk of women who received two vaccine doses without contracting Covid, contains the same level of antibodies.
