- Your baby's movements in pregnancy are a sign that they are well. If your baby moves less, or if you notice a change, this can sometimes be an important warning sign that your baby is unwell. For more information, please see the Kicks Count website: Reduced movements during Covid-19 pandemic.
- There is no evidence showing that the virus can be carried in breastmilk, the well-recognised benefits of breastfeeding outweigh any potential risks of transmission of coronavirus through breastmilk - please see the UNICEF website: Infant feeding during the COVID-19 outbreak
- It's understandable to feel more anxious and stressed than usual in times like these and it's a big adjustment to stay inside all day. It's important to look after yourself whilst you stay at home, and in particular to look after your mental health - please see the Mental Health Foundation website: Mental health and wellbeing when staying at home.
