The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends breastfeeding during COVID-19 infection. Human milk is the best form of infant nutrition providing significant protection against many illnesses for term and preterm infants. The impact of a pandemic on breastfeeding is unknown. This study seeks to address this public health issue. Breastmilk will be collected from mothers positive for COVID-19. Samples will be analyzed for the COVID-19 virus specific nucleic acid and antibody in real-time and results will be immediately disseminated to relevant organizations to inform local, national and international guidelines surrounding breastfeeding to protect the health of infants.
