Your Baby's "Golden Nutrition Meal"

The Wonders of Colostrum

When your baby is first born, what mothers produce isn't mature milk, but a precious liquid called colostrum. Although colostrum is small in quantity, it's your baby's very first "golden nutrition meal" after birth!

So, what exactly is so magical about colostrum?

• Rich in Immunoglobulins Colostrum is packed with immunoglobulins, which help your baby build their immune system and fight off bacteria and viruses.

• Nutrient-Dense Even though the quantity is small, colostrum is highly concentrated with essential nutrients, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals, perfectly meeting a newborn's initial nutritional needs.

• Aids Bowel Movements Colostrum also helps your baby pass their first stool (meconium) quickly, which is beneficial for healthy gut development.

Breastfeeding, starting with colostrum, gives your baby the best nutrition and protection!
