What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Getting COVID-19 while breastfeeding seems to change the makeup of breast milk—like its proteins, fats, and other chemicals—in a noticeable way.
