Colostrum??

36/37 weeks

It’s not advised to collect colostrum until about 36 weeks as it can cause contractions and send you into early labour. If it leaks a bit use breast pads, but please do not squeeze it out just yet. Speak to your midwife next time you see her, here in the UK they give you colostrum syringes and all that, I presume they’d do the same in the states?

Mine didn’t start coming in until right after i gave birth

I started at about 37 weeks pregnant with my first, they had syringes, a little cup to collect the colustrum and an information pack available where I would go for my midwife appointments. I think I did just a few minutes each side at first and I got very little, and then slowly got more as time went on xx

I never even did it because I had no idea what on earth I was doing and had no support on it 😭

I didnt. Nothing came out at all. But my colostrum was there when baby arrived.
