How long after the colostrum starts leaking is the baby born?

Taken from www.bith.com.au: Some women will try and express colostrum from their breasts during pregnancy. If you do it is normal to only to get a few drops out at any one time. This can be done by massaging the breast down to the nipple and then compressing the areola, with your fingers at least a couple of centimetres behind the actual nipple. Some parents express concerns that if they leak colostrum they will not have 'enough' for their new baby when he or she is born. This is a myth, because the breasts are capable of constantly replenishing colostrum and breast milk every 3 to 4 hours or so. Your new baby will get all they need! This is why women can still breastfeed other children while they are pregnant, and a few will even 'tandem feed' (that is feeding the older sibling and new baby) after the birth Hope this Helps


How long do you have to feed a lamb colostrum?

Colostrum is vital to give the lamb agood immune system. It is best absorbedin the first 24 hours of the lambslife. After that it is just digested. If thelamb does not get this it will not haveany immediate source of antibodies tofight infection, and scours or other problems.The best source of colostrum is of courseewe's milk direct from mum but that is not alwayspossible. Colostrum milked from anotherfreshly lambed ewe is the next best option. Ifthat is also not possible then fresh cow colostrumfrom a cow just calved will do. If that failsthen colostrum substitutes are available butare expensive and not as effective.Lambs should get at least one day (500ml) ofcolostrum fed in 6 to 8 feeds before milk replaceris started but any you can get into thelamb (even as little as 30ml) will help.Colostrum replacer is available (jumpstart) which can be used if no fresh is available and it is suggested to give a lamb colostrum for the 1st 4 days as this is what it would naturally have with its mother.It also suggests weight of lamb-amount of colostrum ratio . (look up jumpstart on google)

How long must a calf be breast feed?

A calf should get colostrum within an hour or so after birth. Colostrum in the cow will be produced for the next 24 to 48 hours after the calf is born, but at eat time frame, the quality of the colostrum decreases, which means that if the calf receives its colostrum after 24 hours or more, its ability to survive, and grow into a healthy animal will be diminished. It's CRUCIAL that the calf gets his colostrum within a couple hours after birth, if he is not up and suckling (or has not been up and suckling) by the time you next check on mom and calf.
