Anyone else feel like the multiple ‘look how great my FIRST TIME COLOSTRUM HARVESTING went!’ posts are just boasting?

I couldn't harvest any colostrum at all and had no problem breastfeeding when baby came, don't worry!

I wouldn’t worry, I never tried harvesting with my first and won’t try this time, I still breastfed for 10 months - I don’t really get the hype of it all but agree the posts are pointless

I didn't collect any colustrum with my first, struggled to get breastfeeding established but then breastfed for 22 months after I got through that initial bit

Id be super happy & proud if i got some on my first try too 🥲 ive tried 3 times now and still nothing. If you feel negative about seeing those posts. Try to change your mindset, maybe try commenting asking for advice on how they did so well and could gets some tips instead 🩷

Not bothered. People can do what they want. I'm happy doing me. I won't be doing it cos I don't have any need to. Had no issues BF with first baby. So not too worried
