A study conducted by the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and the University of Florida College of Medicine found that mothers who received a booster dose of the “Covid-19” vaccine transferred antibodies to their children through breast milk.
The study followed 14 breastfeeding mothers and their children before and after they received a booster dose of the “Covid-19” vaccine.
The researchers tested the mothers' blood to ensure that their bodies made antibodies to "Covid-19" after the booster dose. They also tested the breast milk to ensure that it contains antibodies, as well as the children's stool to ensure the presence of antibodies in their bodies.
Lauren Stafford, from the University of Florida, said that to find out whether antibodies in breast milk work against “Covid-19,” the milk was placed in a dish containing the safe strain of the “Covid” virus in the laboratory, and researchers found that the antibodies from the mother inactivated the virus. The virus.
Dr. Vivian Valcaris, a former researcher at the University of Florida College of Medicine, who participated in the study, said: “We believe that breast milk may play an important role in protecting infants from Covid during the first six months of their lives.”
Joseph Larkin, assistant professor of microbiology and cell sciences at the University of Florida, said that this study shows that breastfeeding can provide antibodies to “Covid-19” in infants, especially since they are at an age that does not allow them to obtain vaccination. People's antibodies also wane over time, so getting a booster dose can provide long-term protection for infants.
He added: "When babies are born, their immune system is weak, so they rely heavily on the mother's immune system through breastfeeding." Some antibodies are also transmitted to fetuses through the placenta, but this initial protection decreases over time.
"This shows how important breast milk and breastfeeding are for infant health," Valcaris said.
The study was published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition.
