Will the antibodies I produce from the covid 19 vaccination be passed to my nursing toddler and provide some form of temporary passive immunity?
From this study linked below it shows that antibodies stay in the babies gut and there wouldn’t be any systemic protection unless it’s against gastrointestinal diseases.
Am I wrong to assume that my child will gain some protection against covid via my breastmilk after I’m vaccinated ?
thanks

“. In humans, in whom gut closure occurs precociously, breast milk antibodies do not enter neonatal/infant circulation. A large part of immunoglobulins excreted in milk are IgA that protect mainly against enteric infections.
The specificity of maternal milk IgA is driven by an entero-mammary cell circulation. Human milk also contains anti-idiotypic antibodies capable of enhancing infant antibody response. Maternal milk antibodies coat infant mucosal surfaces and some have a clear protective role.â€
