Heard this word from my cousin who recently delivered and i got confused. Im 7 months along and not sure what it means or when it comes. Can someone explain in simple words?
My gynac called it the first milk, packed with antibodies and nutrients for the baby's first few days. She said it can start forming from around the second trimester. Best thing for the baby honestly, so it is good news if you see it.
My MIL kept calling it the gold milk and was so happy when I started leaking a little. She said it is the most precious first feed. The doctor confirmed it is totally normal, so all good na.
Colostrum is that first thick yellowish milk your body makes even before the baby arrives. It is super rich and is like the first immunity dose for the newborn. Some leak it in late pregnancy, some dont, both are normal.
