Hi Everyone,
      Happy to report that I have passed!   Thanks for all the information
you share over Lactnet - it really helps when one is isolated and I truly
appreciate it!   A belated 56th Birthday prezzie!
      I was talking to a dietician who said that she had read somewhere that
babies do not have the necessary enzymes to digest milk straight off hence
one of the functions of colostrum.   That colostrum stimulates the
production of these enzymes.   She said that as a baby her Mum used to give
her "licks" (as advocated by LLL) of food and they have found that these
"licks" stimulate the necessary enzymes to digest any new food being
introduced to the baby.   Can anyone comment on this?
Sincerely,
Barbie Currie. RN RM IBCLC!
