Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes - but: This what the US CDC says if you are COVID 19 positive: "Wash your hands before touching your baby.Wear a cloth face covering, if possible, while feeding at the breast. Wash your hands before touching pump or bottle parts and clean all parts after each use," REF: https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/maternal-or-infant-illnesses/covid-19-and-breastfeeding.html
