Claims that breast milk could prevent, even cure, coronavirus are unproven, experts have warned.
The theory circulating on social media suggests that breast milk “contains Covid-19 antibodies”.
But, doctors have since slammed this “myth” – saying there’s no proof that breast milk will prevent you from catching coronavirus.
Instead they are urging people to practice good hygiene – and wash your hands often with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds.
“There’s no proof that breast milk at all can cure Covid or give you antibodies,” Dr Dyan Hes, a paediatrician with New York City’s Gramercy Paediatrics said
“There’s no data that I know of that has been published yet about it.”
