How Your Baby’s Body Learns to Stay Healthy

Your baby is born with systems that are still developing.
The immune system, digestion, breathing, and temperature control all need time and experience to mature.

During pregnancy, your body does most of the work.
You regulate temperature, filter nutrients, and pass antibodies that give your baby early protection. This is your baby’s first experience of balance.

After birth, the body slowly begins to take over these tasks.
That is why early months can include frequent infections, changes in appetite, or irregular sleep. These are often signs of a system that is learning how to respond to the environment.

Health in early childhood is not about avoiding every illness.
It is about giving the body repeated chances to recover, adapt, and build resilience.

Daily routines, adequate rest, gentle movement, and emotional calm all support this process.
So does your presence, because stress regulation and physical health are closely connected.
