GOOD TO KNOW :)

Colostrum is the first milk mom will make, and it starts being produced around 5 months of pregnancy in case baby is born early. Even at nine months, it is produced in small quantities because the stomach of a newborn is already born full (of amniotic fluid and meconium, the first stool of a baby, black and sticky consistency). In order for a baby to begin passing meconium (having their bowel movements), strong and efficient sucking at the breast is necessary. The small volume of colostrum and the high concentration of nutrients, antibodies and other important ingredients is what makes colostrum "liquid gold"--which even in small quantities plays an important role in your baby’s lifetime health.
