The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by infection with a novel coronavirus strain, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). At present, there is limited information on potential transmission of the infection from mother to child, particularly through breast milk and breastfeeding. Here, we provide a living systematic review to capture information that might necessitate changes in the guidance on breast milk and breastfeeding given the uncertainty in this area. Our search retrieved 19,414 total records; 605 were considered for full-text eligibility and no ongoing trials were identified. Our review includes 340 records, 37 with breast milk samples and 303 without. The 37 articles with analyzed breast milk samples reported on 77 mothers who were breastfeeding their children; among them, 19 of 77 children were confirmed COVID-19 cases based on RT-PCR assays, including 14 neonates and five older infants. Nine of the 68 analyzed breast milk samples from mothers with COVID-19 were positive for SARS-CoV-2 RNA; of the exposed infants, four were positive and two were negative for COVID-19. Currently, there is no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through breast milk. Studies are needed with longer follow-up periods that collect data on infant feeding practices and on viral presence in breast milk.

Abstract The aim of the present study was to perform a systematically review the literature in order to clarify whether breastfeeding is safe for babies of mothers infected with coronavirus, called SARS-CoV-2. The searches were carried out on MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE and government statements and publications and manual search of reference lists on 5 July. The title, abstracts and full text were read in duplicate by two independent researchers to verify the eligibility criteria. From 2723 records, 17 citations were included. Eleven citations guide avoiding breastfeeding in cases of maternal infection confirmed by SARS-CoV-2. Fourteen citations did not present consensus on breastfeeding and twelve citations recommended to maintain breastfeeding. Conclusion : Through the evidence found so far, it is emphasized that the mother / child separation in the neonatal period is discouraged, as it harms the maternal bond, in addition to interfering considerably in breastfeeding. Therefore, the evidence found so far is extremely low in quality and does not present quantitative evidence in one way or another with regard to vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2, there is no way to recommend, avoid or even guarantee that there will be no infection, but it is recommended to continue breastfeeding.

Background Background Since the emergence of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in December 2019, several publications have emerged describing the manifestations of the disease in different age groups. Reports from the newborn group have however been sparse. This review summarizes the mode of transmission, clinical presentations as well as treatment and outcomes of COVID-19 in neonates. Methods Methods A systematic search for literature was conducted in April and in August 2020. The databases searched include PUBMED, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The search terms used included COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, Corona virus, Newborn, Neonate, exposure, vertical transmission, breastfeeding, droplet infection. We included primary studies that were carried out globally either in hospitals or in the communities such as case reports, case series, cross-sectional studies and other qualitative or quantitative studies and published in English language, between January and August 2020. Results Results Fifty six studies were included in this review. Studies were conducted in China,
