Colostrum/milk baths.
I think I "messed up" was I supposed to give my baby any pumped and frozen colostrum when I brought her home? We don't really do any bottles and when I do it's formula so I can try and build a stash. But she won't really take the formula so I've kind of given up on that unless we are out and I really need to pump. I have about 6-8 oz. She's only 3 weeks old should I be giving that to her? Also I have some milk I left out a little too long that I've frozen for baths. It's about 3 oz and in one package. Do I use the whole 3oz for baths? She hasn't had a bath yet but her belly button is finally healed so I think I'm going to do a bath today can I put it in the bath this early?

Provided baby is gaining enough weight there's absolutely no need to supplement feeds with expressed colostrum, formula or anything else. If you choose to do that, it's a choice, not a need. So no, you haven't messed up! If you don't want to give baby the frozen colostrum then you can use it for baths or keep for things like eye infections or cuts/scrapes.
You can put it in the bath whenever you want, there's no minimum age or any other requirements
