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 gradually over the first ten years of life.

Nest protection – the first defense

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

Why infections are normal

Every illness trained the immune system. Fever is one of them, and is the body's natural defense against pathogens. Parents often notice a rise in temperature late, especially at night.
