A. Hello Baby will never get infected via mother's feed. She only get infected if mother or smone else at home is having any viral infection. Other family member should avoid going near to baby n mother can't avoid so she can go for the use of mask if infected. Through BM your baby will get only nutrients made out of your food intake. Just focus on having high protein n calcium rich food.
