Mother’s milk is considered very essential for the newborn infant.                                       

The mammary glands of the female undergo differentiation during pregnancy and start producing milk towards the end of pregnancy by the process called lactation. This helps the mother in feeding the newborn. The milk produced during the initial few days of lactation is called colostrum which contains several antibodies absolutely essential to develop resistance for the new-born babies. Colostrum is the yellowish fluid and has abundant antibodies (IgA) to protect the infant.             

Breast-feeding during the initial period of infant growth is recommended by doctors for bringing up a healthy baby.
