At Nestlé we believe that when possible breast feeding will provide the best nutrition for your baby. We do not yet know enough about the novel coronavirus to be certain of possible protective effects of breastfeeding. However, we do know that breast milk generally has many benefits for your child’s health including benefits to the baby’s immature immune system. We therefore encourage all women to consider breastfeeding their baby wherever possible. If you find yourself unable to breastfeed make sure to nonetheless follow the same hygiene rules to minimize the risk of spreading infection during feeding/ handling your child and try not to put undue pressure on yourself during what is already a stressful time. If you are feeling overwhelmed and are struggling with your feeding choices, please do seek help from your health professional who may be able to offer some additional support and advice.
