Colostrum is secreted by the mammary gland
of all female mammals during the late months of pregnancy.
This secretion increases dramatically just before the
mother gives birth, and then stops shortly after birth,
it is used by the baby ( first food ) in the mother's
first milk, or reabsorbed by the mother, and soon after,
regular breast milk begins to be produced. The first real
meal of most babies is the perfect combination of all
the necessary immune and growth factors to help get it
through those critical first few days. Besides jump-starting
the baby's immune system, and stimulating growth, colostrum
also promotes rapid healing of wounds or injuries. Colostrum
works to activate a multitude of physical processes in
the newborn body, all of which are vital to health and
growth.
