Colostrum milk

Colostrum milk is the first portion of milk after childbirth. This period can last from several days to several weeks, but in general it is a maximum of one to two weeks. At its core, colostrum milk is no different from breast milk, but is a transition period between them.

In the first days after birth, feeding colostrum is necessary for two reasons. Firstly, it contains a large amount of antibodies that help the newborn fight infections and diseases, especially infections during the very first days after birth. Thus, feeding the baby's mother colostrum milk will protect him from a large number of pathogenic microorganisms. In addition, breast milk contains immunoglobulins, which is especially important in the second half of life when the function of the immune system decreases. Another aspect is that the protein components of human milk contain the same amino acids as the proteins of a breastfed baby, thanks to which the baby adapts to the new world. The second task of this mixture when used is to prevent allergic reactions, especially atopic dermatitis, since in the first days of life the body only gets used to and adapts to new conditions and foods. Currently, many foreign pediatricians recommend feeding a child with breast milk for at least six months, so during this time a woman is recommended to use colostrum milk, because this helps to increase lactation.

The use of these mixtures is necessary in case of cesarean section, prematurity of the newborn, mastopathy and other cases causing a decrease in lactation or
