Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A specific type of antibody found in breastmilk, IgA, protects infants from infections. When breast milk coats the baby’s oral mucosa, nasal cavity, Eustachian tubes, and GI tract, the IgA binds to bacteria and viruses at that surface preventing them from entering the baby’s system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Active immunity is a disease resistance that results from the protection of proteins called antibodies. Examples of active immunity include a person’s resistance to strep throat due to a previous infection or a person’s immunity to polio due to the polio vaccine.
