Colostrum collection
Show your support
I met with a lactation consultant recently and she said if youâre getting anywhere between 1-3 mls per session thatâs a good amount, which isnât much! Keep working on it, I found adding warmth/heat and massaging before collecting seemed to help
Other moms on here told me the amount you get varies for each individual and is not an indication of what your milk supply will be like (if thatâs even a concern for you like it was for me) and they said any amount you get is great. I watched a few YouTube videos on it, but what Iâve done was sit in a warm bath and massage first then collect. I actually didnât collect for like a week because I felt like the stress I was putting on myself wasnât worth it but tried again today and am happy with the results.
