colostrum
Newborn's initial nourishment
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals after giving birth, before regular milk comes in.
It is thick, yellowish, and rich in antibodies that protect newborns from infection.
Colostrum appears in the first few days after birth and provides concentrated nutrients and immune factors that regular breast milk lacks.
