Colostrum

Don’t give up, I was like this and not getting a lot. I will admit I have used a manual and electric pump and I’ve managed to get some now.
Don’t worry about it❤️. When your little one is born they’ll get what they need, whether it’s from you or from a bit of formula. I’ve had 2 sections, both under general anaesthetic. When I woke up, one baby didn’t know how to latch and licked the colostrum off my nipple. The midwife sent us home like this. My other baby latched immediately and we’ve fed fine. Your milk will come❤️❤️❤️. That is for sure xxx try not to stress (easier said than done when many people on here will have freezers full) and just know that your body will do it’s thing when your babe arrives xxx
I’ve been worried too, I can’t get anything! :( I’m going to keep trying but apparently it’s normal to get little. X
Yeh I'm the same ☹️ only managing to get tiny drops. Even tried a hand pump but that doesn't seem to work 🤷🏻♀️ my midwife did say you have to keep trying and it'll get easier.... So just persevere!
Try a manual pump xx
@Ellie been trying hand! But I might try a manual pump just help things a long x
@H thank you 🤍
@Sarah yes me too! It’s so disheartening x
@Megan yeah I might do this! My c section is booked very soon so might just attempt it x
Are you hand expressing or using a pump? I’ve found using a pump really helps only started a few days ago but been getting 1ml off each boob. Good luck xxx
