How much colostrum to bring to the hospital

Hey mamas, I was wondering how much colostrum I should bring to the hospital in case of a C-Section or NICU or trouble breastfeeding. The regular stay after birth if everything is normal at my hospital is 2 nights. I have like 300ml divided in 3ml syringes but I don't know how much to bring for birth in case. Thanks for your help!

So far planning a natural birth but my midwife said to take about 10ml in syringes

I have a lot more in the freezer in case. I was told they don’t eat much the first day or two

That’s more than enough, I didn’t take any as I didn’t make any before birth. I had a Caesarian and no issues feeding baby in the hospital despite not harvesting anything before she arrived xx

I was in for 1 night after c section, i took 10 at first then my partner brought another ten. My LO was cluster feeding the first night so it really helped

I ended up using 20 1ml syringes

As many as u can. Maybe like 10? I used them the second night when my milk came in. That is the hardest night bc babies cluster feed and after 40 hrs of labour I was exhausted. I gave them to the nurses and they fed bub once so I could sleep for 2 hrs in a row. I didn’t have any feeding issues so I used them to not loose them as well, but some people may need more.
