Collecting colostrum

It took me 3 goes before I got anything at all. I was getting 0.1-0.3ml the first week. I'm now 2 weeks in and some days I collect almost 2ml some days under 1ml!

It's definitely a skill. I personally can't collect unless it's mid afternoon in front of the TV 🤣 anywhere else and I have to work for 0.1ml

Are you doing heat pads and massage before as well?

I’ve been trying for the past 2 weeks hand expressing and with a hand pump - most sessions I only manage the get about 0.05-0.1ml (if that) no matter what I do tbh. First few sessions I didn’t get anything at all, keep at it but try not to be too harsh on yourself. I’m following all the tips and advice everyone else is giving but I think some of us just struggle more than others! Remember it’s not a reflection on how your breastfeeding journey will go x
