Passive immunity follows the baby for several months and is replaced by breastfeeding if you do breastfeed your baby. The immunity follows mummy whereby if mummy has had chicken pox then baby is protected from the virus. If baby is not breastfed then it is important to fight against infection as formula milk is unable to replicate the antibodies found in breastmilk. Good practices of hygiene and avoiding people or children who have higher changes of getting sick can help reduce the chances of your baby getting infected. http://www.babble.com/baby/newborn-immune-system/

Antibodies which are transferred from the mother to baby through the placenta is known as passive immunity. Passive immunity will taper off after a few weeks or months but if the baby is breastfed, the baby will receive antibodies in breastmilk which will boost their immunity. http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/939.aspx?CategoryID=62
