Title: Breast Milk!!!!
Post by: PlexIron on February 24, 2008, 09:49:58 AM: My fiancee is pregnant and I was wondering if I could benefit from her breast milk? I know breast milk contains colostrum. Would I make good gains from drinking a cup or so of this a day or am I an idiot?

LOL. I love this question---I have a buddy from college who swears by putting his wifes breast milk in his coffee every day as long as she was lactating. He went so far as to try to get her to milk out a bit so he could freeze it and have it later when she wasn't lactating. He was a nice guy, but seriously weird when it came to lactation. I wonder if thats why she divorced him? ;D

You arent' going to get shit from the colostrum in human milk as an adult other than protein. Colostrum is an old school "muscle builder" that has long been proven not to do anything. The thing is colostrum---the antibody rich milk produced for the initial 24 hours after birth cant be absorbed by an adult. The biological purpose of colostrum is to provide antibodies (along with a few minor growh factors) to neonates that will then provide them with a means of defending themselves against disease while their own immune system develops. In certian animals---humans, elephants, some nonhuman primates, the majority of the antibodies cross the placenta to the offspring while the baby is in the uterus. They do not absolutely have to have colostrum to survive once they are born. In other animals, like horses very few antibodies cross the placenta into the baby. These animals must have colostrum within the first 24 hours after birth or else they will effectively not have a functioning immune system. Failure of passive transfer is a serious medical condition in horses that often results in death.

The 24 hour window is very important because its that time that the relatively large protein structure (this is relatively speaking) can cross the intestinal lining into the blood stream without being digested. After that time frame, the mucosa of the digestive lining changes, decreasing the mucosal permiability to the proteins allowing the digestive enzymes/acid within the stomach to simply break the protein structures up. Its basically a protein source becuase as an adult you'll digest it before you absorb anything useful from it.

It's basically lactose and fat!

Like a weight gainer... hey it is a weight gainer!

Actually they typically are bred back while they are lactating (many herbivore species can do this, but humans typically can't) The cow should be pregnant during the "dry period" or else she is wasting a huge amount of time that she could be producing milk. Lactation lasts ~300-320 days. Typically a cow is bred 40-50 days after pregnancy. Milk production will peak at 70-80 days post calving. Gestation (The time the cow is pregnant) is ~279 days. The cow will calf at 30-60 days after she dries up. That gives the cow about 30-60 days of "down time" to not be pregnant or not lactating.

So in a nutshell, allmost all of the milk you buy from a grocery store comes from a pregnant cow.

Post by: Darreningym on March 04, 2008, 08:11:52 PM: lol i thought the cows were once pregenent but the milk is continually taken from the so there bodies keep producing milk for the "calf" (aka milk sucken machine). Much like a human female can produce breast milk indefinately as long is the baby keeps drinking it

True true.

Funny story -

My fiancee used to freeze any extra milk for the baby to use later. We tought ( or she ) that the icecube holder would be good that. Convenient size, easy to defroze a portion and all.

Well I had a guys only party for having my first kid.

I remember one time during the night that one of the guys was complaining how these colored icecubes made his whiskey look nasty ;D ;D
