MODEL RELEASED. Establishing breastfeeding. View of a midwife helping a new mother to establish breastfeeding. It is important to do this as soon as possible after birth. In the first few days after birth mothers produce a thick,yellowish fluid called colostrum from their breasts. This contains plenty of minerals and protein,as well as lymphocyte white blood cells and antibodies to protect the newborn baby from infection. Within 4 to 5 days the mother will start producing milk,which has the ideal balance of nutrients for a newborn baby | |
