La lactancia materna en las primeras horas

First Milk - Colostrum

  • Colostrum is extremely important for your baby
  • Colostrum is the milk you will make in the first few days after your baby is born; it is often thick and can be clear to yellowish.
  • Colostrum coats your baby's insides and helps prevent allergies, viruses, and infections.
  • You will produce very small amounts of colostrum in the first day.
