Patient's question:
I would like to ask if my baby, who is almost eight months old, can eat colostrum?Medical history and treatment outcomes: Last month, my baby caught a cold which led to pneumonia, and now he seems to have caught a cold again.
The help I am seeking: My baby is a bit anemic.
Doctor's answer:
Colostrum refers to the milk excreted by cows within the first 3 days after giving birth. This milk is produced by the mother cow to supply the calf with natural antibodies to combat foreign viruses and bacteria in the newborn environment. In addition to being rich in high-quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals, it also contains active functional components such as auto-immune globulins and growth factors. These components can remotely attack blood pathogens that invade the human body and inhibit the adaptation of bacteria, making it a health functional food that enhances immunity and promotes growth.
