PUBLICATION HISTORY

This WHO guideline on infant feeding in areas of Zika virus transmission is an update of, and supersedes, previous WHO recommendations on infant feeding in areas of Zika virus transmission. WHO developed this guideline, first as interim advice on Breastfeeding in the context of Zika virus: interim guidance on 25 February 2016 and then as a rapid advice guideline WHO Infant feeding in areas of Zika virus transmission. This update expands the scope of the guideline to include an assessment of any potential risk of Zika virus infection through breastfeeding and feeding recommendations for infants presenting with congenital Zika virus syndrome or Guillain-Barré syndrome as well as support required by the mothers and caregivers of infants affected by these conditions. This guideline accompanies the WHO toolkit for the care and support of people affected by complications associated with Zika virus. To produce this guideline, the rigorous procedures for a standard guideline described in the WHO handbook for guideline development were followed. This document presents direct and indirect evidence as well as the evidence reviews that served to inform the recommendations herein.
