Colostrum gives your baby immunity to the germs that are in the surrounding environment. It is protective, coating the intestines to fence these germs out so they cannot be absorbed into your baby’s system. This barrier seals your baby’s insides, preparing your little one for a healthy life.

Immune properties and nutrition in breastmilk don’t suddenly disappear when babies reach 6 months. They are always there. Wonderful research led by Dr. Natalie Shenker at The Human Milk Foundation, "suggests stability in human milk composition in terms of both metabolomic and microbiome composition for up to 24 months." https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/12/11/3450/htm
