Abstract

Author’s ́ conclusions: neonatal COVID-19 infection is uncommon, rarely symptomatic, and the rate of infection is no greater when the baby is born vaginally, breastfed or remains with the mother.

Reviewer’s ́ commentary: data suggest that COVID-19 disease should not be an indication por caesarean birth, formula feeding or isolation of the infant from the mother. Mothers who breast-fed and room-in with their infants should continue to observe COVID-19 hygiene precautions.
