When I was in the hospital, they diluted my
colostrum to provide my child with a full ounce
of liquid via a finger feeding tube.  I could
only pump 10 cc's of colostrum at 12 hour post
partum.  They added glucose water (20cc's).  My
baby would not latch and was fussy at the breast.

That was my experience.
