"Colostrum   Breastmilk".


 This is the reason I hear most as to why the baby was given aim  during the 
first 2 days of life. 
 
With my last birth, my nurse midwife actually hand squirted some  milk out of 
my breast right in front of the neonatologist to show that I did  indeed have 
milk to feed my big baby (8lb12oz). I do wonder what if nothing had  came 
out---would that have made the case for supplementation in his mind?
