Lifetime breast milk

Without our mothers, we won’t be here today. The love and protection she gave us started way back since pregnancy.

Placenta- the bridge between mother and infant, plays such a huge role in delivering maternal nutrients to the infant, gas exchange and providing maternal immunity. IgG antibodies, the only antibody class that can be transferred to infants via placenta, circulate in the blood circulation, protecting the infants from infections.

Breast milk- a baby’s first food, is the most precious gift a mother can give. Not only it supports newborn’s growth and development with its rich nutrient content, breast milk is also rich in antibodies, mainly the IgA antibodies. These antibodies provide long lasting protection to the newborns’ respiratory and gastrointestinal systems while their immune system is still in development, providing immunity against harmful microorganisms.

Antibodies are part of the adaptive immunity, which is not present at birth. Hence, specific antibodies are produced by the immune system via encounter with pathogens after birth or vaccination. The antibodies present in breast milk provides maternal immunity to newborns and is beneficial for their growth and health.

This Parent’s Day, let’s return our love and protect our parents’ health with Stolle ImmNuPlus, which contains specific IgA and IgG antibodies. Stolle (M) wishes all parents a happy parent’s day!
