The current recommendations from Public Health Wales are:
- Adhere to the Government’s recommendations to stay at home and not visit with friends or family.
- Wash your hands before touching baby, breast pump or bottles.
- Try to avoid coughing or sneezing on your baby.
- Clean any breast pump used as recommended by the manufacturer after every use.
- Sterilise equipment and bottles carefully before each use.
- Do not share bottles or breast pumps with someone else.

When the time comes to lift the current social distancing restrictions the current thinking is that large gatherings to celebrate the baby’s arrival should be avoided until more is known about the spread of the virus.
