What is colostrum? Do all cultures view it similarly? Explain
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: It is the thick, rich liquid that is produced right after the baby is born and ceases to be produced after a few days. It has a high concentration of protein and antibodies, making it very important for the neonate's health. In some cultures it is considered bad for babies, perhaps because it looks so different from breast milk. In India, babies are given a mixture of honey and butter that looks similar to it, but is believed to be safer.
