Hi, my baby is a month and 2 weeks old and her pcr results were negative after birth and she’s exclusively formula fed.
I found out that my mom has been feeding her porridge when I’m at work.
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Congratulations on having a baby. It is great that baby has tested negative. Have they been given any treatment themselves after birth e.g., nevirpaine?
As you are exclusively formula feeding baby, mom giving baby porridge is not going to risk transmission.
Though baby is still a little young for anything more than formula. There should be no reason to add anything extra to baby’s diet when they are on formula. This should be enough and can always give baby more if they are still hungry.
