What you’re making is exactly what your baby needs.
Colostrum is hyper-concentrated. It’s not meant to fill a bottle — it’s meant to line a gut, build immunity, and meet your baby exactly where they are.
Your body and your baby talk to each other and this dance of nursing in the early days is what signals to your body to transition colostrum to more plentiful transitional milk and ultimately mature milk.
This is why we don’t ‘top off’ with formula in the first 24 hours without a reason. We let baby and your body do this important dance and know your body is making what baby needs in the meantime.
I hope this helps:)
