A newborn does not yet
have a mature immune
system and is often
unable to mount an
effective immune
response. Newborns are generally protected by
the antibodies they
receive through the
placenta before birth
and through their
mother's breastmilk after birth.
A newborn baby will have his or her mother's antibodies for the first six months.
The mother's milk contains the antibodies to diseases that she has suffered from since she was born. She passes them onto the baby in her milk, and the baby's immune system creates its own antibodies to protect it.
During pregnancy, antibodies such as IgG are passed from the mother to the baby through the placenta. During breastfeeding, antibodies such as IgA are passed from the mother to the baby through breast milk.
Antibodies are passed from a mother to her baby through the placenta during pregnancy and through breast milk after birth. This transfer of antibodies helps protect the baby from infections until their own immune system develops.
Your baby will get antibodies from breastfeeding throughout the time you are breastfeeding and for 2-3 months after weaning.
A newborn baby can acquire immunity to measles if the mother has been previously vaccinated or had natural infection, passing on protective antibodies to the baby through the placenta. This is known as passive immunity and offers protection to the baby until they are old enough to receive their own measles vaccination.
New born baby weight is 2.5 to 4 kg.

Actually babies are born with some antibodies from the mother, and will acquire more as long as the baby breastfeeds.

None. What you have to worry about is if the mother's blood type is (-) negative and the father's is (+)positive. When this happens, the baby inside the mother will be (+) and the mother will make antibodies to the baby's blood for the first pregnancy. This will not affect the firstborn, but will affect the second born. This is why they give Rh - moms a shot of Rhogam to keep the mothers antibodies from attacking the baby's bloodcells resulting in anemia.
