Colostrum harvesting!

That’s great, I tried for the first time last night and got nothing

@Rachel I tried yesterday and got nothing too. Don't give up x

@Rachel I also tried few days ago for first time and got nothing but yesterday got a whole of 0.2 ml haha 😆 I know some women get more, some less but I don’t care, I’m glad she will have something already at least! What helped me was taking a shower and then massaging the chest and I know it says to do it just for 5-10 minutes but I did it over an hour and was able to get something at least. So def consult if not comfortable following my lead but I think for me I just needed to relax and that’s when the colostrum came out oh and gravity too, kinda just leaning a bit helped

I am having no joy at all!! X

@Kelly Stick with it, I promise it is so worth it 💝

I had no luck with my first pregnancy and I was so determined to do it this pregnancy. Last night I got the most out after my bath, the heat helps. Make sure you are relaxed, I have a heated blanket I use for 5 minutes and massage them first as well. I also find it easier to do it into a mam bottle lid sterilised first then suck it into the syringe. Some days I don’t get much and other days I get more, just don’t stress

@Megan @Polina tried again tonight and managed to get 3x 1ml syringes worth, although it’s not very yellow

@Kelly me too! I’m not really liking it 😅 I’ll be interested to know how it will feel when I pump (don’t want to do breastfeeding) but not so sure I’ll be a fan of it for too long

@Rachel Oh that's amazing! Well done! Mine was watery to start with but 3 days on its very golden!

Do any of you ladies that are being successful have a link to a video that you have watched for guidance or anything? X

@Kelly I watched a few videos but found those techniques didn’t work for me. I had to have my fingers very close to my nipples and used my opposite hand on the inside of my boob to get anything.
