Patient's question:
I just had a baby, and at the time I was not clear about the situation. My friend said that after I gave birth, the baby's first bite was not milk. Can babies not eat the first breast milk?Doctor's answer:
For newborn babies, the first breast milk can be consumed, while eating other breast milk foods will affect the child's metabolism. The nutritional value of the first breast milk is very high, and the child's nutritional needs are met through breastfeeding. Such children will have a strong immunity and will not be susceptible to other pathogens. The first breast milk is very beneficial for the child's intestines. It is recommended that you eat light foods during breastfeeding and avoid spicy and stimulating foods to prevent discomfort for the baby.
