Can my Newly Born Baby get Infected from Me?

The newborn can get infected with covid in 3 modes, one is before birth or during birth or one is after birth . what we call in medical terms is intrauterine infection or intrapartum during the time of birth or post partum or after the delivery. So usually what will happen is intrauterine in the sense from the placenta the virus can pass from the blood vessels from the mother to the baby and that can infect the baby and we also have reports that suggests that the liquids that surround the baby inside the womb, it can also contain viral particles normally baby keeps swallowing and inhaling the amniotic fluid or the liquid. So through that also the infection can get spread. And also second one, intrapartum, the most important thing that we encounter, that is the babies catch the infection through the maternal secretions like for example if it is a cesarean section through the blood and many particles and if it is a normal delivery though the secretion, the babies can get infected. Next is post partum, we see in babies who get discharged and coming back again. So this happens if the mother is not taking proper precautions and if she is not feeding the child and not caring for the child properly. So this mainly happens from the mother or the caregivers in the home, mainly through the respiratory secretions.
