At birth, infants have protection against certain diseases because antibodies have passed through the placenta from the mother to the unborn child.
After birth, breastfed babies get the continued benefits of additional antibodies in breast milk. But in both cases, the protection is temporary.
That's why immunisation is needed to protect your child against serious disease. Once children have been immunised, their bodies can fight those diseases if they come into contact with them.
