Hi Nikki,
I always understood that composition of milk, despite changes during time of
its own development, is fairly comparable between women around the world. I
would reckon (no back-up) that that goes even more for colostrum than for
mature milk, as maybe in the Sahara children would need more water than
children on the Poles. I understood the 10cc-colostrum-remark as: to a 3500
gram baby, 10cc, relatively speaking, is more than to a 4500 gram baby.
Isn't that how we calculate approximately what a mom needs to pump: X cc's
per kilo body weight per day (divided by numberof feedings)?
But then again... maybe it is true that a mother with a heavy baby produces
richer colostrum...! Don't know, can't tell ya! ;o))
Kindly,
Marianne Vanderveen, Netherlands
