What you need to know about colostrum

　　what is colostrum ? Generally speaking, after a child is born, the mammary glands begin to secrete milk within two or three days, but the breast milk at this time is thicker and slightly yellow, which is colostrum.

　　Colostrum contains a large number of viable lymphocytes, which can produce immunoglobulin A in the mother's body. baby The body also causes the baby's body to produce immunoglobulin A, which protects the baby from bacteria.

　　However, some mothers do not know the advantages of colostrum and squeeze it out because they think it has no nutrition. This is extremely wrong. The amount of colostrum secreted is not large, and the baby cannot suck at this time, so it seems that there is no milk. However, if the baby is allowed to suck repeatedly, the colostrum will "pass through".

　　Around the fourth day after delivery, the mammary glands begin to secrete real milk. Before the secretion of milk, mothers often feel that their breasts are swollen and uncomfortable, and they feel hard and hard to the touch. This is a precursor to lactation, not a disease. 》》》 Three types of women are prone to breast cancer after childbirth
