Keeping the lactating parent and infant together in times of cholera yields the best results for nutritional status. The organism that causes cholera (vibrio) is not transmitted through 모유. The vibrio is in the 위장 tract and the route of transmission is by 대변-oral contamination. Exclusively breastfed infants rarely develop cholera, unless the vibrio is introduced through the infant’s mouth, which is prevented by exclusive breastfeeding. 그만큼 “응급 상황에서의 유아 수유” (IFE) Core Group states that lactating parents with cholera should continue to breastfeed their child as long as the parent is conscious (even when getting IV fluids).¹ Breastfeeding does not make cholera worse due to its protective properties.^{2 3}
