Colostrum before birth

Heyyy I would start collecting some and freezing it as I didn’t get to when I had my baby and gutted because it’s great to have to boost there immunity and when they have a temperature or a cold you can give it to them which really helps them a lot because you only produce it at the beginning then your milk supply comes through. I breastfed and put her straight on the boob :) good luck ! Xx

Thank you Leonie ❤️

Yeh I started at 36 weeks after a shower in the evening. Started with a couple drops but end of the second week for 5ml. Really helped my milk supply which came in day 2 and I have an over supply now so my baby gets more than enough and sped up the feeds. Made life alot easier and if you need a break your partner can use what's in the freezer to give you a break

I would if I was you. I harvested at 37 weeks as that was the earliest they would give me colostrum syringes and I was a little gutted as I didn’t get much at all as I was induced a week later, so I got about 6 syringes (so 6 mls) and that was all, before he came and then in hospital since I had latching issues I asked for more syringes to harvest more to give him for a night and that was it! My milk came in day 3 so what I have in my freezer was all I have and it’s still there now 11 weeks later. I’ll wait for his first cold to give him some. If I done this again I’d collect earlier and store more.
