Is 0.1ml of colostrum work keeping?

Only managed to get 0.1ml first time.
Is it worth keeping?

My boobs have in general been quite sore during pregnancy and are naturally more sensitive. Found one boob way easier than the other - anyone else found this?

I could try again in the morning and see if I can top it up some more 🥴

I’ve also only managed about 0.1ml on the first try, and only managed another 0.3ml before I had to freeze it! I’m going to keep it just in case but hope it picks up in the coming weeks. Also barely getting a single drop from one boob!

My midwife said not to chuck the 0.1s, if you can't get anymore within 24 hours to freeze it. Whatever you can get, it's liquid gold so defo keep it 😊 x

I didn’t manage much more than that on my first try but having a shower first and massage has helped plus lots of patience! Gradually they have got much better. 1 boob is still better than the other but glad I stuck at it as definitely getting easier!

I’ve tried collecting over three 24 hours periods so far (expressing 3 times in each 24 hours) and they have all ended up being 0.4ML I’m just keeping them and freezing them. I’ve read that your supposed to get more over time but I am not seeing any improvements yet 👎🏻 quite frustrating. It takes me about 20 minutes to collect as well and I am the same barely get any from my right side x

I was told it can keep in the fridge for 4 days before freezing :)

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.
