In this 10-minute video, Dr. Murray explains the post-natal development of the infant's immune system. The mother's passive immunity and breast milk protect the infant and allow them time to develop vital immune functions. As the baby reacts to antigens from the outside world, breast milk plays a significant role in digestion, absorption, microbiome development and overall immune health.
