Except there is a vaccine for measles and most people have been vaccinated at some point in the past 5 decades. [/quote]

Except for little babies, but who cares about them.[/quote]

Breast milk should convey measles antibodies.[/quote]

This. I’m not concerned at all.[/quote]
What about babies who are not breastfed? Not yours, so no big deal?[/quote]

Babies receive the immunities of the parent while in the womb and those immunities last for about six months. They can be vaccinated against measles as early as six months when an outbreak exists. One of my children was born during the measles outbreak in New Jersey in 1991 and was vaccinated early because of it. Pediatricians were telling all the parents of very young babies to get MMR vaccines early because of the measles outbreak. If you have a very young baby, you should ask your pediatrician for their advice about vaccinations for your child.

Information from Mayo Clinic about babies and MMR vaccinations here:
