During my #Covid duty days one common concern has been raised frequently about whether mothers with #COVID19 can transmit the
#SARSCoV2 virus to their infant through #breastfeeding.

So here is my take on this👇hope it help on clearing the air to some extent🙂

#covidcapsules
Recommendations on #mother_infant contact and #breastfeeding must be based on a full consideration of not only of the potential risks of #COVID19 infection of the #infant, but also the risks of morbidity associated with not breastfeeding,
the inappropriate use of #formula_milks, as well as the protective effects of skin-to-skin.Even the #WHO recommends that diseased mothers should be encouraged to continue to breastfeed and should be counselled that ..

New preprint from the @GaabLab with first author @JenniferMZuk : "White matter in #infancy is prospectively associated with language outcome in kindergarten" biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We would love to hear your feedback! Please find a summary below #infant #mri #brain #language 1/9
We think that our paper is the first #longitudinal #neuroimaging study to document white matter organization in #infancy & follow-up w these infants 5 years later to characterize their #language outcomes. Recent work in the field of #developmental cognitive #neuroscience...2/9
...proposes that the first 2 years of life signify the most rapid period of #brain development & sets a foundation for long-term development, but there has yet to be direct evidence with respect to brain structure due to a lack of longitudinal designs with #neuroimaging. ...3/9

“Missing #microbes” are a factor in the development of chronic #inflammatory disease 👉 But personally, I’m more concerned about the fact that many aspects of modern living are driving a rise in “missing #immunity” and the consequent survival of “additional persistent #pathogens
Here’s an example 👉 #Formula feeding is often associated w/ increased chronic #disease incidence☝️ Meanwhile, #breast milk has a #microbiome, but is ALSO filled w/ antimicrobial compounds + metabolites that play a key role in the immune’s system’s ability to manage #infection
This team found that interactions b/t neonatal #saliva and #breast milk released #antimicrobial compounds including H202☝️These compounds inhibited growth of a range of human pathogens: nature.com/articles/s4159… ImageImageImage
