Question
Can children drink colostrum?
Answer
Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins that can help boost immunity, but for infants, it may affect the normal development of their digestive system and even lead to malnutrition. Babies typically receive immunity from their mothers for the first five to six months after birth, after which they enter an immune gap period. During this time, it’s possible to consider other ways to enhance a baby’s immunity without necessarily relying on colostrum. There is still debate in medicine about the actual benefits of colostrum for humans, so it’s important to carefully evaluate its impact on children.
