are you breastfeeding? i found this article from babycentre:
"We know that a newborn's immune system is not nearly as effective as an adult's or even an older child's, and that it takes many months before a newborn can fight off infection as well as someone whose immune system is fully matured. Nonetheless, you may be pleasantly reassured to know that newborns are much better protected against (or immune to) potential illnesses and diseases than you might otherwise think. This is because during pregnancy, disease-fighting antibodies made in the mother's immune system are able to make their way across the placenta and into her baby's body. Fortunately, these antibodies stick around for several months and are able to give newborns an added level of protection from many routine illnesses during this important time when they are not as able to effectively make their own antibodies. However, all good things must come to an end, and infants gradually get less and less benefit from their mothers' antibodies—that is, unless they are breastfed.
Breast milk not only has unquestionable nutritional value, but it provides infants with an added level of immune protection that no commercial formula has been able to duplicate. That's because even colostrum—the first milk produced by new mothers—contains large numbers of antibodies and other infection-fighting cells. Through breast milk, nursing mothers are able to provide their babies with a continued source of antibodies long after they deliver. As a result, breastfed babies are protected against many if not all of the diseases to which their mothers' are immune. It is because of this significant boost in immunity that breastfed babies have been shown to get sick less often, suffer from fewer ear infections, and experience less severe symptoms when they do get sick. And while you may be familiar with the risk of uneven heating and scald burns associated with microwaving breast milk, it's worth noting that doing so is also thought to destroy the immune properties of the milk."
ok the article is probably just pro-breastfeeding. not sure if it's true but i think there's some truth in it. i mean, if u get chicken pox, u do get some immunity from it right? your body detects it, fight it, u got well (faster with medical assistance) and then your body keeps the recovery record in the database. so that's how when u get sick in the future, the body will just retrieve the record on the database or automatically generate preventive methods should they sense danger lurking nearby. oh my i hope you understand me.. kekeke..
