It’s possible for babies to not cough and instead suffer from apnea — pauses in breathing that threaten their lives, according to the CDC.

The babies can turn blue as they struggle to breathe.

As early as 2 months old, babies get a formulation called DTaP, which besides pertussis also protects against diphtheria and tetanus.

Pregnant, vaccinated moms then pass protective antibodies to their babies.

"Surprisingly, GDM-exposed infants were more likely to experience slower body fat gain, but equivalent gain of lean body mass compared with infants of women without GDM, a trend called catch-down growth, which is typically seen in heavier babies who later align with typical growth patterns," said Widen.
