Colostrum harvesting

I’m 37 weeks tomorrow and going to start colostrum harvesting if I can. Tried manipulating my breasts and find it’s not the most comfortable experience. Does anyone else find that or is that just me? Does it work and how long does it take?

I also find it uncomfortable and not particularly a pleasant experience. I randomly decided to try on Thursday and got 0.5ml straight away but then the last two nights I’ve got nothing. Last time round I left it a week til about 38 weeks and then got quite a lot. It can take some time but try not to put too much pressure on yourself 😊

@Sophie thanks. I’ve only tried it briefly the last few days but no more than 5 mins tops. I just find it uncomfortable and don’t think I’ll get anything from it to be honest. A bit frustrating!

I've found that it was more comfortable for me during the day but apparently it's because of my hydration like mornings and night I'm barely getting 0.5 ml, but mid day I get about 1.5ml I'm inky 37+2 so hoping that I can produce more in the morning as the days go on

I just received my breast pump I ordered from Amazon. It’s amazing and after 10 mins I got some! I got the kissbobo double wearable pump. It’s quiet and easy to use. I wasn’t convinced I would get anything as I’m 35 weeks and have had breast augmentation. I just sat there watching tv, chilled and it worked! Good luck!!
