Your baby occupies all the space. His immune system receives antibodies that will protect him during his first months of life. If you intend to breastfeed, colostrum (the substance that is produced before breast milk) also boosts his immune system and helps him getting rid of meconium. Your baby still has a bit of lanugo on his shoulders and arms. Vernix is also present and abundant in the skin folds. Your baby is about to leave an idyllic world where all his needs are systematically met.
