This strategy involved preservation of continuous mother-infant proximity with specific hygienic measures, breast milk as the main source of feeding, early discharge with home isolation, and a structured follow-up with hospital-assisted home care. Breastfeeding may protect against the horizontal transmission of SARS-CoV-2, as specific antibodies against this virus have been found in the breast milk of a COVID-19-infected mother. 19 Our results support early postnatal proximity, despite many mothers worldwide being separated from their newborn infants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, safely maintaining familycentered perinatal care and continuing the promotion of bonding between neonates and their SARS-CoV-2-positive mothers appear possible, as these newborns are very rarely infected and, if infected, show only mild symptoms. ./cache/cord-342013-k54u2q0d.txt ./txt/cord-342013-k54u2q0d.txt
