A member asked:

I plan on nursing my baby when she is born, however i am still nursing my first baby. should i not let my 1st nurse while the colustrum is present?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ok: There is no reason that I am aware of that colostrum is better than breast milk to a new born or vice versa.In fact if you are continuing to nurse your 1st, I am not sure there will be colostrum.
