Urgh! THESE are the people that make my job so hard because then I have to un-teach this sort of misinformation from so-called “professionals”. Colostrum IS liquid gold, and I’m thrilled if the mothers whose babies I look after can manage to hand express even a few millilitres. You can tell this OB has never experienced the devastation of NEC.

Oh how did we ever make it as a species for millions of years without formula? I can’t believe that these people are considered educated people.

You’re never going to establish an adequate milk supply without giving your child the colostrum! These people are IDIOTS!! Seriously, they are completely unqualified and unprofessional. Its insane.

a baby can live off of one gulp of colostrum for DAYS… but ya know it’s no good.
When my twins were in the NICU the smaller of the two didn’t get any of my colostrum in the beginning. She had tons of tummy issues. I was a dairy cow for 4 months literally. I pumped 12-16 oz every 2 hours, and they were only eating 1-2 oz when they finally came home at 6 weeks. Well around 5 weeks the doctor said her tummy issues were the only thing keeping her in the NICU because she couldn’t gain weight if she couldn’t keep the milk down. I had a mommy’s intuition moment and said “I have almost a gallon of frozen colostrum in my freezer at home, would that help? So I brought it in, and a week later my babies came home.

I have to comment and yet I’m speechless. This is probably the most ignorant thing I have read here so far.
Just mind-boggling!

When my first daughter was born she was rushed to NICU after with a hole in her lung. She couldn’t eat, because it could have caused some serious problems, but the NICU nurses brought me one of the huge hospital pumps (it’s like this industrial super powered pump that could ice through a straw, lol). She told me that it would hurt, but that I should use it because she wanted to give my baby the colostrum as soon as the doctor cleared her to eat. It really made me feel good. Too bad this nurse wasn’t on duty later when the other nurses were trying to convince me not to breast feed because my daughter just wouldn’t take my breast (my nipples were just way to large for her ity bity mouth, plus she had already had my colostrum and some breast milk in a bottle and that was easier for her). Pumping was so easy for me, I didn’t see why I should stop. I made so much milk that I had to freeze alot of it and had enough saved up for 2 months after I stopped pumping!

Oh the poor babies who all starved to death before formula was invented!
It’s a good thing the human race survived long enough for them to invent Enfamil!
