Colostrum... liquid gold 🤱

What is it? It is the first milk produced during lactation. Production begins in the third trimester, stimulated by placental lactogen.

So why might you express colostrum before the birth of your baby?

Most mums can breastfeed soon after birth. But sometimes, babies need extra fluids in the early days. Having your own colostrum ready means you can avoid using formula if your baby needs more than they can get directly from you.

Your midwife or obstetrician might suggest expressing colostrum before birth if:
💉You have diabetes during pregnancy. Babies born to mums with diabetes can have low blood sugar after birth. Extra colostrum can help keep their blood sugar stable.

❤ Your baby has a condition that might make feeding more difficult. This could include a cleft lip or palate, or certain heart or neurological conditions. If your baby is diagnosed with one of these before birth, having colostrum on hand can be helpful.

Always talk to your midwife or obstetrician before you start expressing colostrum in pregnancy
