Answer:

Passive immunity is passed from a mother’s breast milk to her nursing infant.

Anne Marie recently had a baby girl. She has read all about the benefits of breastfeeding her newborn. Anne Marie knows that her milk can help keep her newborn from contracting a disease. She talks with the baby’s pediatrician, who confirms that the infant will receive temporary Passive Immunity from antibodies transferred in Anne Marie’s breast milk.

Explanation:

Passive immunity can be described as a kind of immunity in which a person gets immunity or antibodies from another source rather than his/her own body producing the immune cells. Active immunity can be described as an immunity which is triggered by a person's own immune cells.

In infants, mothers pass on antibodies to the child by breastfeeding. Hence, it is a type of passive immunity. Passive immunity cannot be as long-lasting as active immunity. It only lasts for some weeks.
