Natural passive immunity means the body has acquired specific immunity through natural means from someone else. Some antibodies can pass from mother to child through breast milk. The child has specific immunity to some pathogens because the child has acquired its mother's antibodies. This is one of many reasons some mothers choose to nurse their infant.
