Natural passive immunity ( mother to baby)

 Natural passive immunity.

💡 Step-by-step explanation:

1. Passive immunity means antibodies are transferred from one person to another — the recipient doesn’t produce them.

2. Natural passive immunity happens naturally (not by injection or vaccination).

   • Example: A mother passes antibodies to her baby through the placenta (before birth) and breast milk (after birth).

   • Breast milk — especially colostrum, the first milk — contains IgA antibodies, which help protect the baby’s digestive and respiratory systems.
