What Is Colostrum?

During the first couple of days after birth, you will produce breast milk known as colostrum. After about the third or fourth day, you will produce mature milk. Colostrum is made up of nutrients that provide important health benefits for your baby

It’s also high in carbohydrates and protein while being low in fat. It also coats your baby's intestinal tract, preventing your baby from become sensitive to foods that you may eat. Colostrum is also made up of antibodies that protect the intestines, throat and lungs from infection. Remember, you only have a few days of colostrum production, so be sure to reap the benefits and latch your baby on right after birth.
