The selected sample consisted of 13 articles, 7 in Spanish (53.8%) and 6 in English (46.2%), of which 3 were carried out in Spain, equivalent to 23%, Brazil 15.3%, Colombia, USA, United Kingdom, Italy, Chile, Peru, Mexico and Ecuador with 1 article published, that is, 7.69%.According to the literature consulted, different studies were found that analyzed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the breast milk of pregnant women with COVID-19, obtaining as results the non-presence of the virus in the human milk samples studied. They also state that breast milk contains antibodies that attack the virus, preventing it from being transmitted from mother to child, in such a way that these studies have allowed the nursing staff to continue promoting breastfeeding as the best and only food for their children.
