[QUOTE="pauline, post: 495877, member: 7770"] Thank you for all your replies. I rushed to the store to buy colostrum powder on Sunday (the baby was born on Friday). Even the store woman told me "it's too late, honey", but I fed her anyway, just in case. I felt better to think that I did all I could for the baby. In the article about colostrum in your reply, it says "Feeding may induce earlier closure". What does that mean?! Any kind of feeding? Last night, I had another baby calf. My husband was so traumatized by the last baby that this time, he went out in the night and fed this new born baby with milk replacer (no colostrum powder in the house)! Did this feeding intervention induce earlier intestine closure that my husband practically killed the baby's chance to survive? thanks Pauline [/QUOTE]
