When you begin expressing, make sure you are well hydrated and in a comfortable and safe environment - preferably sitting up so that gravity can help!

Colostrum is high in protein and carbohydrates, which are vital to a newborn’s nutrition, but it remains low in fat as your little bubba may find fat difficult to digest at first.

It is produced by the mammary glands in your breasts and mamas can begin to make it from about 16 weeks pregnant! Our Silicone Colostrum Collector Set comes in two different sizes to suit different needs – our original 4ml Collector, and the bigger 20ml! You'll notice relatively small amounts of colostrum immediately after birth and for the first couple of days before it begins to transition to mature milk.Sterilize each colostrum collector with any steam sterilizing system or by boiling in water for 2-3 minutes. However, there is certainly no reason that a healthy mother with a healthy newborn can't also hoard some colostrum antenatally. These babies may find it difficult to initially latch, and expressed colostrum will help both of you with your breastfeeding journey.
