The recommendation for a postpartum mother diagnosed with cytomegalovirus (CMV) during the third trimester is to breastfeed after delivery. This is based on the understanding that although CMV can be transmitted through breast milk, the benefits of breastfeeding generally outweigh the risks in these cases. Breastfeeding provides essential nutrients and antibodies to the infant, which are crucial for their healthy development and immune protection.

Additionally, the transmission risk of CMV through breast milk is relatively low, especially in the absence of symptoms in the infant. The World Health Organization and other health authorities often emphasize that breastfeeding is safe even when a mother has active CMV, as long as the infant is healthy and being monitored. Therefore, direct breastfeeding is encouraged to foster the bonding experience and enhance the infant's nutritional intake.

Other options imply measures that are not supported by current guidelines, such as delaying breastfeeding or discarding breast milk without firm evidence to justify those actions. Therefore, the recommendation to breastfeed after delivery aligns with best practices for promoting both maternal and infant health in this context.
