Harvesting colostrum

Has anyone started harvesting colostrum yet and if so how many weeks were you when you started?

It says to wait until 37 weeks. My midwife says if done earlier it can induce early labour. And you don’t want that. So wait till 37 weeks before you start trying.

I agree with above, definitely wait until at least 37 weeks and even then it’s recommended to consult your midwife before you begin. Each pregnancy is different and they may not believe that you should start just yet for whatever reason, so you’ll want to know that they think it’s definitely safe. They should also be able to give you a collection kit for free so you’ll want that anyway! ❤️

I tried for the first time yesterday…. Got nothing. I’m 36 +5 xx

I'm not stressing about it or even trying this time around tbh but it's my second rodeo lol.

I haven't yet. I could but my midwife hasn't given me any syringes for it and quite frankly I just cba 😂
