I think my child needs a COVID test — where should we go?
If your child is asymptomatic or has or very mild symptoms, we recommend getting a COVID test at a community-based site rather than a pediatricians’ office or a hospital.

As new parents, you get to decide if unvaccinated family members can visit your newborn and what precautions they should take.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a simple yes or no answer to whether you should be traveling with unvaccinated kids during this holiday season.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine all recommend pregnant people get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The bottom line is that if you have tested positive for COVID-19, in all likelihood it is safe to continue to breastfeed your child.
