She can express in a bottle. If she doesn’t want to breastfeed after colostrum, the milk will dry out

She can still collect colostrum and then not breastfeed once baby is born x

@Rachel will it not make it more for uer as in her boobs getting more engorged as that’s encouraging milk?? xx

It's the birth of the placenta that stimulates milk production. So she can collect colostrum when pregnant and it won't have an effect. Her milk will still come in, and if she doesn't want to feed breastmilk she'll have to deal with the engorgement until it goes away.
