Babies need small quantities of colostrum in the first days (but as much as they will take of course) and even mothers who later have trouble producing enough milk usually
make enough colostrum.
I kept asking the nurses if I was
making enough colostrum and they said I was, but they never, ever checked to see if I was even producing colostrum.

You may not think your baby is getting
enough breast milk during the first few days of life when you're only
making 1 to 2 ounces of
colostrum a day, and that's an understandable concern.
Colostrum serves as your baby's first food, and though you may not
make loads of it, your supply should be
enough for your babe until your milk comes in.
In my first few days, the nurses at the hospital might tell you I'm hungry and your body can't
make enough milk for me... but mommy, that
colostrum from your breasts is some awesome stuff!
While babies don't need much more than
colostrum for the first few days, the doctor may need to
make sure the baby is getting
enough to eat.
