Colostrum is the first milk your breasts produce during pregnancy. Most mums don't even know it's there unless they leak a bit during their pregnancy. Your body starts making it about three to four months into pregnancy. Colostrum ranges from a clear-fluid like appearance in some women to a deep-golden thick and creamy fluid in others.
Colostrum is full of antibodies and high in protein but has less of carbohydrates and fats. It helps build your newborn’s immunity and has a laxative effect that helps him pass the tarry first stools called meconium.
