I am infected with the coronavirus. Can I breastfeed my child?

Answer

Yes, you can. But be sure to follow the recommended rules on hygiene and social distancing, which will be explained to you by your midwife or your doctor after the birth. By doing so, you will help protect your new-born baby against infection.

Further information on breastfeeding can be found on the following websites:

  • Swiss Association for Gynaecology and Obstetrics (German and French)
  • Professional Association of Swiss Breastfeeding and Lactation Consultants (German and French)
