. We measured mumps virus specific IgA antibodies in the sera of preterm infants after a feeding period on human milk rich in such antibodies. In full‐term infants the possibility of absorption was determined from the content of these antibodies in the child's mother's milk, an umbilical cord blood sample and a later serum sample. No absorption of IgA antibodies was found.
