These comments towards this momma are cruel and hateful.... but breastfeeding in public has been normalized?? 🤔 What are your thoughts?

Researchers believe the smell of the breast is similar to amniotic fluid that protects a baby in the womb.

Some good info right here 👇🏻

A lot of women being pressured/scared into being tested. *I’m not against the test... I’m against hospital experiences being worse than they have to be.

If you're pregnant and having a hospital birth COVID19 does not give providers permission to strip you of your rights.

1. You do NOT have to be tested. Period. You don't have to explain why, and you don't need any kind of excuse.

2. They CANNOT take your baby from you if you refuse to be tested.

3. They CANNOT take your baby if you test positive for COVID.
*Both the WHO & RCOG strongly recommend keeping mother and baby together, even if mom tests positively. You can show this resource to your provider if they say otherwise:

4. There is NO known medical reason to stop breastfeeding if you test positive. Current research shows no evidence of the illness being transmitted via breast milk. Breast milk does however have valuable antibodies to build your baby's immune system. If you planned to breastfeed, it is still recommended by the WHO.

5. They CANNOT make you wear a mask while laboring/pushing. You can voice that you are uncomfortable, and take it off.

YOU get to decide what you consent to, COVID does not change that.
