Colostrum collection!

I didn’t do this with my first baby, but really wish I did! This is my first time collecting colostrum and I got 3 mL! Excited to get a little stash going before baby comes!

What technique did you use? I want to do this

@Leah I just used my pump on the massage setting to stimulate my nipples. I did it for like 8 min

I thought you had to wait to give birth to collect any milk?

@Gemini this is colostrum! You can start collecting between 36-37 weeks 😊 it’s good to have for when the little one gets sick ❤️ milk won’t come in until a few days after the baby is born

Omg thats awesome!! I would be scared on going into labor tho, I just read online it says that sometimes it rushes you to labor! idk how accurate but that is Pretty cool 😎 💖💖💖

@Gemini yes! Nipple stimulation can trigger contractions but I’ll be 37 weeks tomorrow so I feel totally fine going into labor sooner than later 😂

@Ashley I hope you have a good rest of your pregnancy! I’m 37 weeks as well, but I’m hoping to go to the full 40 weeks. Good luck with you mama! Xoxo 💋

Thank you!! And same to you ❤️
