I have 2 kids aged 2 months and 6 years. My wife has just taken covid vaccine and is breastfeeding my younger kid. I understand that the cavity antibodies get transferred to the child through breast milk. Would it be helpful if I mix some amount of breast milk along with normal cow's milk and give it to my 6-year-old son? Will he benefit from the antibodies?

Hello Mr. lybrate-user!thats a good doubt. I suggest not to give to your elder son. There is not confirmatory test regarding covid antibodies in the breast milk. It is not yet tested in labs. They are just suggestive from the doctors. But do not worry its not harmful for your new born kid, you can feed him breast milk.
