We aimed to conduct a rapid review of mother-to-child transmission of COVID-19 during breastfeeding.<h4>Methods</h4>We systematically searched Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and preprint articles up to March 2020. We included studies relevant to transmission through milk and respiratory droplets during breastfeeding of mothers with COVID-19, SARS, MERS and influenza. Two reviewers independently screened studies for eligibility, extracted data, assessed risk of bias and used GRADE to assess certainty of evidence.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 4,481 records were identifiAnnals of translational medicine618https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7290644biostudies-literatureBreastfeeding of infants born to mothers with COVID-19: a rapid review.PMC7290644Zhou QZhang JLuo ZYang NWang CFeng XZhang HMa YHuang LWang JFukuoka TLi WChe SAhn HSLee MSCOVID-19 Evidence and Recommendations Working GroupChen YWang XLuo XYang SLiu ETang YBaskota MfalseBreastfeeding of infants born to mothers with COVID-19: a rapid review.<h4>Background</h4>Existing recommendations on whether mothers with COVID-19 should continue breastfeeding are still conflicting.
