You can eat it. My baby just turned 15 months old today and has been eating bovine colostrum from Tongren Yangshengtang for 4 months. Their sales staff said that if the baby got stuck, they would crush it and drink it in milk, but now our baby can chew it and she likes it very much. Now the baby is in good health. Spring is a sensitive season for children to catch a cold, but our baby doesn't catch a cold. My husband intends to continue to let the baby eat their colostrum.
