In this tender video from the Special Care Nursery at Gold Coast Private Hospital, I share a special moment as a lactation consultant gently feeds my newborn son colostrum via syringe, lovingly harvested from my breasts with a midwife’s guidance. As she strokes his neck to encourage swallowing, his little face seems to light up, like he knows this “liquid gold” is just what he needs! Colostrum is packed with essential nutrients and antibodies for newborns. Tips for new moms:
Colostrum is Enough: Even tiny amounts are perfect for your baby’s small stomach.
Seek Expert Support: Lactation consultants and midwives are key for early breastfeeding success.
Be Patient: Syringe feeding can feel slow but ensures baby gets vital nutrition.
Fun fact: Colostrum’s antibodies help kickstart your baby’s immune system from day one!Follow my raw, real motherhood journey: https://direct.me/suvisjournalism
