13-month magic

Reaching the 13-month mark of Noah's time out of my womb. The concept of life is astounding and fascinating. What kind of divine magnificent life-giving forces are responsible for the creation of this magical baby?

A mother in one of the Facebook group (Breastfeeding older babies and beyond) I am following wrote that her breast milk has likely transform back into colostrum due to her new pregnancy (at 25 weeks). With her previous pregnancy, she experienced breast leakages also at 25 weeks, so it makes sense and she is wondering if her colostrum supply can be increased just like breast milk. This Facebook post led me to recall my unforgettable colostrum experience in the baby hotel with Noah. I almost missed out on these precious and special liquid gold (only produced for a few days after childbirth) that I had no clue about, and luckily thanks to the wonderful midwives specialising in the first 10-day of a newborn's life at the baby hotel, Noah gotten a fair share of this super baby food made especially for babies by mother nature.

Noah was forgoing sleep just to feed ferociously on the colostrum. I was puzzled over his behaviour to constantly latch and feed until a midwife enlightened me.
