Colostrum collection

Same I've been trying and trying and nothing. I'm due to start sweeps today and to going to be induced on Sunday, feeling guilty I have nothing ready.

thanks that’s good to know! It is indeed my first. I’ll give the warm compress a go. If you are going to produce something should it normally be within the first five mins? Just wondering if I’m giving up too early.

Thank you that’s really helpful!

Also keep yourself well hydrated especially in this weather! I found if I’m not hydrated enough (at least a litre before trying and then drinking water whilst trying) I can dry up! I also swap boob to boob as the little break gives the first one a chance so when I go back to it I get good size drops again.

I found that the position of the squeeze is everything! Got one side where I could squeeze 90% of the full area and get nothing but now I've found the place that works it works every time (can't seem to find that spot on the other side though!) So I was disheartened for a week and gave up then the midwife found the area straight away so I continued.

Make sure you massage for 2-3 minutes before too!
