COVID Antibodies Found In Breastmilk Of Vaxxed And Previously Infected Moms “Moms may be able to pass on important antibodies through their breast milk that will help protect their babies.”
A new study showed that new moms had COVID antibodies in their breast milk if they were vaccinated, but also if they were previously infectedand how to protect ourselves — and future generations — from the virus, researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center have discovered good news about new moms who have protection from COVID, either from vaccination or from a previous infection: They may be able to pass on important antibodies, analyzed breast milk from 77 mothers — 47 who had...
The study also showed that antibodies were still present in the breast milk after three months, which is the longest time shown in a study. Previous studies have found antibodies in breast milk, but scientists still aren’t sure how long those antibodies will remain there, after either infection or vaccination.
This study also supports scientists’ theories that while protection from COVID vaccines is robust, the best protection comes from both being vaccinated, and having had a COVID infection.
