Breastfeeding and the provision of human milk are associated with positive maternal and infant health outcomes immediately postpartum, across the life course, and across generations (AAP, 2012; Victora et al., 2016). Over the last two decades, there have been groundbreaking advances in the areas of human milk science and infectious diseases (Colt et al., 2017; Foeller et al., 2020; WHO, 2016). In the wake of COVID-19, clinical case reports, retrospective and prospective studies, and systematic reviews related to perinatal maternal and child transmission of SARS-CoV-2 have been generated at an astonishing rate (Center for Humanitarian Health, 2020). Scientists around the world have united in a liquid gold rush to study human milk and COVID-19. But, to what end?URL
