Bien. Bien chiludo.
Brewtus;1115143; said:That's incorrect. While a newborn does not yet have a mature immune system, they are protected by the antibodies they receive through the placenta before birth and through their mother's breastmilk after birth. So immunization of newborns against diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, measles, rubella (German measles), mumps, and hemophilus influenza b holds tremendous value.
I miswrote again. I meant to say that they do not produce antibodies. I am aware of what is gained from in utero and breast milk. However, in our case, my son breastfed for a month before it was determined that he had "breast milk jaundice" and a blood type incompatibility with my wife. Thus, he is on formula and won't have an exterior source of antibodies continually going into his system.
I do understand what you have written Brewtus.
