On the second postpartum day, a new mother questions whether colostrum provides adequate nutrition for her newborn because “it doesn’t look like milk.” The nurse should tell her that colostrum:
A.   is rich in nutrients and provides antibodies to protect the infant from infection.
B.   does not meet the infant’s needs but will soon be replaced by mature milk.
C.   is high in fat, which will help the baby regain the weight lost during the first few days of life.
D.   is mostly sugar, so it will protect the infant from hypoglycemia, which is common in the first few days of life.
