Question

what does colostrum mean?

Answer 1

Colostrum is a milky substance that is produced by the breasts of mammals before birth and during the first few days of following birth. It precedes the production of true milk( breast milk). It's usually clear in appearance, but may look slightly yellow. While breast milk is highly nutritious and immensely beneficial to newborns, colostrum is thicker, more concentrated in protein, and lower in fat than true breast milk.
