When will my baby get his/her own immune system?

Chuyên gia

An infant’s immune system doesn’t mature until around 2 to 3 months, assuming the baby is a term baby. If the baby is born prematuredly, the baby's immune system will only start maturing 2 to 3 months after the supposed due date. In those first few months, the immune system — especially cell-mediated immunity — becomes more developed. This is very important in helping a child fight off viruses.This means that a 2-week-old baby’s immune system can’t fight viruses or bacteria nearly as well as a 3-month-old infant’s can.

Are all twin pregnancies delivered preterm?

Chuyên gia

It's estimated more than half of all twins are born early, prior to 37 weeks gestation, which is almost a month before the standard 40 weeks gestation of a singleton baby. Triplets and other higher-order multiples have an even greater chance of being born early. The reasons for preterm delivery in twin pregnancies is likely multifactorial and different from that of singletons and often due to an overdistended womb and the sheer increase in size of the womb and volume of the amniotic fluid.
