Colostrum

My first couple of tries were really hard. But then my friend told me who has not long had a baby to collect directly from nipple to syringe and make sure you warm up the girls before hand. The more I did it the easier it got. I got breast warmer thinggys and theyve been a game changer. I’ve managed to collect 50 syringes so far (I know no one come for me I’m trying to induce lol) and am going to take loads to the hospital and leave what I don’t use there for a potential donation, if they do that

Another thing I found really helped, especially early on was doing it on my own like in bed with a cup of tea watching MAFS or something and just being relaxed. I could never get any colostrum if my partner was near because his breathing just winds me up lol

Keep going at it mumma 🤍

I feel like I do it loads I’ve been doing it since 37 weeks granted not every day but now I’m able to get closer to 1ml or over th past few tries but I think I have less than 15ml total so I need to start doing it more often. I’d love to get 50ml in the freezer but my due date is tomorrow so who knows 😂
