Hi/bonjour! Just an update on my services during COVID-19. I'm providing virtual-care; parents call or email (514 605-6813, deborahvan.wyck@gmail.com) and I send them a link with an invite to a Zoom conference at the agreed upon time. Pretty easy.

You don't have to wean if you get COVID19 according to the Public Health Agency of Canada - see below for recommendations.

Breastfeeding can continue even if you have COVID19 or suspect that you may have it, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) in alignment with the global World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations.

Some advice while you are feeling unwell:

- Other than for breastfeeding, limit the amount of time you are in close contact with your baby, if possible
- Have a healthy caregiver look after your baby’s other needs
- Wash your hands thoroughly before breastfeeding
- Wear a mask, if possible, during breastfeeding

If you are feeling very unwell, contact your primary health care provider for advice on how to care for yourself and continue to provide milk for your baby.
