Colostrum collection
I can’t do it 🙄
37 weeks and nothing is coming out.
With both previous babies I feel my milk doesn’t come until a day of or after they’re born. Anyone else ? Any tips welcome ! 🙏🏽

Check your technique is correct and try late at night after a bath (this is when you have the most hormones and why babies cluster feed at night!) your oxytocin will make a huge difference too - try sitting in baby room with a cup of tea and just see what happens. If you get none don’t get frustrated just stop and try again tomorrow A lot of people don’t manage to get any and that’s totally fine! Like you say it comes in after anyway so doesn’t affect bf xx
It also hasn't work for me so far

I got like 1-2 drops of colostrum before my girl but went on to EBF for over a year. The birth/hormones etc. have a big part to play in signalling to the body to produce and so not getting colostrum before shouldn’t impact BF or supply and doesn’t mean anything. It’d be great to have some but not essential. Tips wise - bath/hot shower/massaging/relaxing are all meant to help.
