Toxoplasmosis, caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, poses a risk to pregnant women and newborns. This study conducted an integrative review on the presence and concentration of anti-T. gondii antibodies in human milk and their role in passive immunity. Seven articles published between 2000 and 2024 were analyzed, showing consistent detection of IgG, IgA, and IgM, especially in colostrum, suggesting potential protection for the infant. No evidence of parasite transmission through breast milk was identified. Future studies should evaluate mature milk, the persistence of antibodies, and their functional activity. Breastfeeding by mothers infected with T. gondii is considered safe and contributes to neonatal immune protection.
