Have you noticed your breasts changing in pregnancy? They are getting ready to feed your baby after he is born. You may not have thought about breastfeeding but it’s the natural thing to do. It carries on what your body has been doing in pregnancy - feeding and protecting your baby and helping him grow. Your placenta has been doing this job but after the birth your breast milk is there to feed and keep your baby healthy.
Ready and waiting
From the moment your baby is born, your breasts have milk ready and waiting for him. This first milk is called colostrum and it’s very important stuff, like liquid gold. Colostrum has antibodies in it which protect your baby from germs and diseases in the outside world.
