Is the first breast milk toxic?

Patient's question:

Hello, may I ask if the first breast milk from the mother can be eaten by the child? Some people say that the first breast milk from the mother should not be eaten by the child because it is toxic. Is this statement correct?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to answer your question: If the first breast milk is consumed, it is like receiving the first dose of a vaccine. It not only contains many immune proteins but also inhaled bacterial factors from the mother's nipple, forming its own microbiota and immune system with its lymphatic system, thereby enhancing immunity. For specific details, it is recommended to consult a professional. I hope my response is helpful to you.
