The benefits
of Colostrum include:
• Colostrum works as a natural 100%
safe vaccine; the immune agents contained
in colostrom is much higher in comparison
to mature milk
• Antibodies called secretory immunoglobulin
A (IgA). Before birth, the placenta provided
your baby with the antibody called IgG;
now with this new antibody your baby receives
protection from external germs in places
like the mucous membranes in the throat,
lungs and intestines.
• It plays a key role in the baby's
gastrointestinal tract; the colostrum seals
the permeable holes of the intestines and
prevents foreign bodies from entering the
intestines
• It also sensitizes baby to the foods
eaten by you and
• Colostrum also acts as a laxative
by loosening meconium or first stools (black
sticky substance contained in the intestines);
excess bilirubin is expelled from the system
thus preventing jaundice
• Colostrum also contains high concentrations
of leucocytes, protective white cells that
can destroy disease causing bacteria and
viruses.
Mature breast milk contain lower concentrations
of antibodies but it is higher in volume.
Baby continues to benefit from the disease
fighting properties of human milk as long
as it is breastfed.
