Question

The breast milk produced in the initial days of post delivery is known as colostrum.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

The breast milk produced in the initial days of post delivery is a thick yellowish fluid known as colostrum, quite different from the milk secreted later. It is rich in calories and protein and contains several antibodies which protect the baby in its infancy, giving it resistance to infection while its immune system develops. The milk produced afterward is rich in nutrients and is high in energy.
