A. best to feed baby with mask. Breastfeeding is the best source of natural immunity and antibodies to a newborn baby never give formula milk as it is not required at all exclusive breastfeeding is a must for good immunity and baby health , reduces colic and gas issues and overall brain development of the baby. No water , ghutti or any other syp is given till 6 months of age .

A. 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.
