1-) As ths is a very new virus that makes everyone anxious and in fear . and all the information and evidence is still not available to us . As , there is no evidence to suggest an increased risk of miscarriage if exposed to COVID-19 . Where as there is also no evidence in medical science of vertical transmission which refers to the ability of the virus to pass to theunborn baby during pregnancy or not .

If one pregnant women with the positive test reports for COVID 19 , after delivery to give statment that it seems still doubtlful to clear the concept so, esearch are still gone . Thats why its unclear whether teh baby contracted the viral infevtion in utero or shortly after the birth .

• Try to avoid coughing or sneezing while she feeds the baby .
• Wear a face mask while feeding , if it available  
• If mother using a breast pump , then following the instruction for cleaning and sterilising properly
