4. Colostrum
We mentioned that milk was perfectly suited to provide a baby with all the nutrients they need in a highly available manner. And we mentioned that this only makes sense, seeing as we evolved drinking breast milk in this way.
Well, as it turns out, breast milk contains everything that a young baby needs for the first six months of their life and will even change its composition as they age. A good example of this is colostrum. This is the ‘first milk’ that develops when the baby is youngest (in the first few days) in order to help the digestive tract to grow.
Sure, there are other options out there that may provide the same benefit, but this is just the perfect example of how the body is so perfectly suited to creating precisely what the baby needs as they need it!
