But defrost the colostrum and feed it first? Personally, I believe that colostrum should be given first- whether it has been frozen or not, then go on to use the fresh milk (especially if baby can bf from the "source") but I am unclear as to how this answers the original question. Which is better, frozen colostrum, or fresh mature milk? Heidi Murphy Gainesville, Fl
