Mammary glands of female undergo differentiation and start producing milk at the end of pregnancy. This is called lactation .
This helps the mother in feeding the newborn.
The milk that comes out of the mammary glands during initial days of lactation is called colostrum.
It contains several antibodies (I A) and nutrients (like calcium, fats, lactose) for the baby. It provides passive immunity to the baby.
Thus, breast-feeding is recommended by doctors for bringing up a healthy baby.
