Development of the immune system in children: What parents should know

The immune system is your child's bodyguard. It protects against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens and develops step by step during the first ten years of life.

Nest protection – the first line of defense

In the last weeks of pregnancy, your baby receives antibodies from you. After birth, breast milk extends this protection, usually for the first 3 months, sometimes up to 9 months.
But: Your baby is only protected against what you yourself have antibodies against. That's why vaccinations, after consulting with your pediatrician, are so important.

Why infections are normal

Every illness trains the immune system. Fever is part of this process and is the body's natural weapon against pathogens. Parents often notice a rising temperature late, especially at night.
