👉Breast Milk–Acquired Cytomegalovirus in Premature Infants
📌Infection with human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is ubiquitous, with a global seroprevalence of approximately 85%. In all human history, most CMV infections have probably been acquired from breastfeeding. Hayes et al in 1972 demonstrated that CMV could be cultured in breast milk, and breastfeeding was proposed as a mechanism by which the virus could be transmitted to the neonate. Subsequent work showed that such postnatal infections are generally innocuous in full-term infants, in contrast to the potentially devastating neurodevelopmental and audiological consequences of CMV infections acquired in utero.

👉When Separation is not the Answer: Breastfeeding Mothers and Infants affected by COVID‐19
📌The World Health Organisation (WHO) has provided detailed guidance on the care of infants of women who are a person under investigation (PUI) or confirmed to have COVID‐19, which supports immediate postpartum mother‐infant contact and breastfeeding with appropriate respiratory precautions. Although many countries have followed WHO guidance, others have implemented infection prevention and control policies (IPC) that impose varying levels of postpartum separation and discourage or prohibit breastfeeding or provision of expressed breastmilk. These policies aim to protect infants from the potential harm of infection from their mothers, yet they may fail to fully account for the impact of separation.
