Colostrum harvesting

Can use it beyond the first few days if they need a little top up , use on their skin / in the bath . When they get a cold etc
Afraid I can’t comment on how it’s changing x
Also I’d say 20ml is probably enough , I managed 80 and still have 40 in my freezer 😂
So colostrum is good to store in the freezer for 6 months so even if you don’t use it straight after birth it’s still good to have. I expressed about 40 syringes worth before birth and we didn’t use a single one in the early days. We ended up using them after every vaccine to help her little immune system. It’s always better to have some and not need it, than need it and not have any. In terms of the colour and consistency changing, it varies a lot. It’s still all colostrum, just all depends on what you ate that day, how much water you drank etc
It’s in case baby doesn’t latch, has an NG tube added by NICU, or if something big happens to yourself. If you don’t use it there’s groups on Fb Like this where you can donate it to women&babies who aren’t as fortunate https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1A4hCxz3s1/?mibextid=wwXIfr
