Anyone struggling/ not successful at collecting colesterum? I'm on day 2 of trying and I'm not getting anywhere.
I'm putting on a warm compress for 10 mins, massaging for 3 mins then trying for 5.

It’s okay and perfectly normal not to get any. If you find yourself getting stressed about it, that’s also going to stop it happening!
What helps me is having something oxytocin inducing on the television. I discovered this in my first pregnancy that I would leak every single time I watched The Dog House on channel 4! This time, when I’m reading to my 2 year old, I will leak so am putting collection cups on x

I’ve been also struggling, I’ve gave it a go and had few drops 3 days ago (just from one breast, other one nothing), got really excited and ordered some syringes to collect it with, and now for the past 2 days I’ve been trying once in the evening and once in the morning but nothing, its so frustrating which I know is not helping the situation, as should be relaxed and happy to get that oxytocin flowing.

I will be 37 weeks in Wednesday and have not had a single drop at all yet. Hopefully it will come in time x
