Don’t worry if u feel u are likely positive for covid , then u give barrier nursing to ur child , I mean breastfeed with mask on , and u and ur baby can stay at same room , until u are very sick then also u can give her breast milk after expressing. Till then breast feed ur child with mask on and proper hand sanitisation . And get ur covid test done
Next Steps
Watch for activity and feeding pattern in ur baby
Health Tips
Any fever cough rash diarrhoea should be taken seriously

Take Precautions while feeding. Always mask on while you are feeding with baby. Sanitise your self before feeding. Do a Covid test as it will guide you better than not doing it.
