Dear Friends:
Newborn milk (also known as colostrum) is designed to clear meconium,
and seal the gut and immunize. It is not for growth. So a baby whose sole
source of nutrition is the breast can not sustain growth once the mother's milk
changes back to newborn milk. Whereas, a baby who is also eating solids can
grow on a combination of pregnant mother's milk plus those solids.
As for amounts of newborn milk, I am amazed at its volume! I used to
believe, based on what I had learned from the evidence, that the amounts of
colostrum were small.
After putting newborn s2s for 15-20 minutes, then having mothers hand
express, and seeing rivers of flowing milk (of all colors: some streams are
clear, some yellow and some white and all flowing from the same nipple), I am
not surprised at the volumes that are cited in this case study, of 60cc. I have
seen primalactas express a full teaspoon of newborn milk in just a minute or
two.
What is everyone else's experience?
warmly,
