    Original title: Can breastfeeding mothers breastfeed after the diagnosis of new crown pneumonia?
    Beijing University Third Hospital Obstetrics Director, Chief Physician Zhao Yangyu:
    First of all, the available information shows that the confirmed maternal milk did not detect the new coronavirus nucleic acid, but because the number of cases is too small, it is not yet possible to fully determine whether there is a new coronavirus in the confirmed new crown pneumonia maternity milk. There is also a problem that there may also be a risk of exposure to sexually transmitted infections during breastfeeding, so breastfeeding is not currently recommended or artificial feeding is recommended for women who have been diagnosed with neo-crown pneumonia.
    have suggested that the milk could be sucked out and the virus could be destroyed by heating it before feeding the newborn. In fact, in this way, we need to consider that there may be some loss of nutrients in the milk after heating. Therefore, artificial feeding is still recommended. Because breastfeeding is temporarily stopped, when the mother is cured after discharge, and completed 14 days of isolation observation, after a re-diagnosis there is no problem, can continue breastfeeding. Therefore, we need to remind you that during the cessation of breastfeeding, breast care is very important, you can use a breast pump to pump out the milk at a time, to keep the breast catheter smooth, so as to reduce the accumulation of milk, to avoid the occurrence of mastitis.
