I really struggled harvesting by hand and, despite trying for ages over many days, I couldn’t get a single drop. Just used my Pippeta pump to try it out and got 9ml of colostrum in about 20 minutes using a combination of the massage and pump function!
Yep 3oz on my first attempt. I was shocked 😂😂
I feel like I need to get a pump now 😂 I got 1ml over 24 hours!!! Exhausting
i’ve been using my pump for collecting colostrum. i tend to get about 4ml from pumping for 15 mins as opposed the 30-40mins it would take by hand
@Ellie haha same!
Yes, using my pump 10 mins each side getting about 5ml each time currently 😊
Yeah I used it with my first and would get between 5-7ml each night. I only pumped once a day, after a warm shower/compress and a massage x
I don’t think they recommend electric pump for harvesting, but I’m not entirely sure. I’ve been hand expressing, I’m not making enough yet to electric express or use anything really x x
