Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children3 years agoA. Yes the mother can feed directly. The baby will get the needed antibodies from the mother to fight any such future infections. You can maintain hygiene while handling the baby. If you are worried to be in direct contact with the baby you can express the Breastmilk and ask someone else to feed the baby.
