    Donated breastmilk Q

    My friend has offered me some of her supply of breastmilk for my 2.5year old. My DD has CF so anything to promote her immune system is good.
    The BM is mostly colostrum and new born baby milk will it still be ok for my DD

    Yep! Will be super good because colostrum has even more goodies packed in than mature milk because there isn't as much of it ITMS.

    Yep just perfect! You may find her poo might get a little looser though but that's nothing to be concerned about
