My husband caught COVID and is quite sick; he neglected to get his booster. I had my booster in my 3rd trimester. Baby seems totally fine, I’m feeling a little off but have no specific symptoms.
Thinking about this, I’m wondering how my baby is absorbing antibodies from me. Why doesn’t she just digest them?
Also, bonus question for the brave: if I breastfeed my sick husband, will he feel better sooner?

Nutrients are absorbed from your food. Why not antibodies? Your digestive tract is a mucous membrane designed for absorption.
