Formation of colostrum
During a mother's pregnancy , the body is always working at its full capacity to create a perfect new life. And with this process, baby milk is also gradually ready to nurture your baby. This preparation has produced a pale yellow liquid known as golden liquid for your baby. That is colostrum.
Colostrum is produced during pregnancy, while the baby is still in the womb and will be ready for the baby in the first few days after birth. This milk line is usually thicker and sticky than the following lines.
To take advantage of colostrum, mothers should breastfeed as soon as possible after birth
Comprehensive benefits
Rich in carbohydrates, proteins, antibodies, and colostrum make the baby healthy and extremely easy to digest. That is the best first meal for babies.
Even though it appears only a few short days after birth, the benefits of colostrum are long-lasting. It is a natural laxative for babies, helps to eliminate poop, waste that carries a lot of bilirubin (the substance that causes jaundice).
All about Jaundice in Newborn Babies Jaundice is a common disease in most newborn babies. Symptoms of neonatal jaundice usually appear 2 to 3 days after birth and can go away on their own if the mother takes care of the baby properly.
With a weak gut, newborn babies need colostrum as a natural barrier against foreign substances in their digestive tract.
It is also the most natural and comprehensive vaccine for babies. An antibody called IgG is introduced into the baby's body from the early days of the fetus through the placenta. Once born, breastmilk will continue to provide your baby with IgA antibodies. It's a great supplement to help your baby fight off illnesses. In colostrum, these antibodies are denser than the milk that follows.
Finally, colostrum provides protective white blood cells to isolate and destroy tiny microorganisms that can cause disease.
Increase the amount of colostrum right during pregnancy
The amount of colostrum the body produces is very little. Many mothers even think that they do not have colostrum because sometimes it is dark or watery, not yellow. Even though in the first few days, babies don't need anything but colostrum, moms probably still want to prepare ample reserves right before the baby is born.
