Hello,
I still remain curious about something: I asked in an earlier post about
evidence that the "bolus of colostrum" that seems to be present in mothers'
breasts after birth "goes away" or is "reabsorbed" after a while. Several
people have commented on the bolus "going back up the ductal tree" or
something like that, and I would really like to see the evidence or studies
that show this. Like I said in that earlier post, after many years of
hospital-based work, I do NOT usually see that bolus disappearing, and often
will see it when mothers pump 12-24 hours after birth (for whatever reason).
They will get that first bolus and then may only be able to get drops with
the pump for a period of time after that.
