ABSTRACT Objective To explore the effects of intraoral pressure on colostrum intake. Methods Healthy women with full-term infants were admitted in study after birth. Intraoral was detected before and mothers’ onset lactation by a sensor during breastfeeding session. Colostrum intake measured weighting infant breastfeeding. The confirmed perceptions sudden breast fullness. Results newborns’ peak sucking 19.89±7.67kPa lactation, dropping to 11.54±4.49kPa (p<0.01). 4.02±4.26g 11.09±9.43g lactation. Sucking correlated amount adjusting confounding factors. Conclusions at early stage played predominant role It is recommended initiate immediately birth take advantages active robust response. valuable understand importance that plays immunity achievement first several days
