Colostrum collecting syringe

Colostrum can be put in the fridge for 3 days no more and you can add to it if needs be then straight to the freezer that will last even longer, you can ask your lactation consultant or have a look up online x

You shouldn't combine colostrum of different temperatures. So best to decant, and then combine together again in the syringe for freezing when each batch has been cooled... I hope that makes sense 😅

I bought some collection cups, pre-sterilised, and I find that easier to collect the colostrum in. I can collect into these, put in the fridge to chill and then fill the syringes later in the day/the following day once there is enough across the cups to full some syringes. As above, you shouldn't mix colostrum/milk of different temperatures so should all be the same temp when mixing. When the cups has been used, I just wash and sterilise for re-use

I had an appointment with the infant feeding team yesterday. She told me I could use the same syringe kept in the fridge for 24 hours and then put in the freezer afterwards.
