Colostrum is the first milk that your baby gets when you start breastfeeding. This first stage of breast milk production begins during pregnancy and lasts for several days after your baby is born. It's thick and usually a golden yellow color.
Colostrum a fluid secreted by new mothers during the initial days of lactation contains nutrients that boost a baby's immune system and help fight infection.
Colostrum is a supplement made from a yellowish milky fluid that's released from the mothers during the initial days of lactation.
It provides passive immunity.
It is an antibody-rich fluid.
It also provides several important growth hormones and other compounds such as lactoferrin for newborns.

🔑Key Points:
Lactose is the sugar that is in milk. Our body uses an enzyme called lactase to break down that sugar so that we can absorb it into our bodies.
Meconium is the initial stool passed by a new-born soon after birth, before the baby begins to feed and digest milk or formula.
Colostrum is the first stage, transitional milk is the second stage, and mature milk is the final stage of breast milk.
