So I know a lot of moms breastfeed both the new baby and their older child. Which I plan on doing.. but I was just wondering if the new baby gets the colostrum if the first child is still nursing at the time of birth? Does that make sense? Lol

Question

Answer

This waa online. Very interesting!
If you are breastfeeding during your pregnancy, your breasts will produce a mixture of mature milk and colostrum
(extra antibodies for your toddler!) ... Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy your breasts will produce more colostrum when you give birth, regardless of whether you are already nursing your older baby.

Answer

Yes the milk converts over to colostrum for the new baby

Answer

Thank you ladies! Put my mind to ease haha I’ve been told countless times by my midwife and multiple doulas and also reading online but idk just keep second guessing myself. 
Our bodies are capable of so much! And I need to remember that. 
Happy International Women’s day!
