Colostrum collecting

How long before did you collect colostrum and is it easy? I’m coming up 37 weeks and not getting anything yet…

Sometimes people don’t get it until baby is born try to relax because this impacts massively xx

I did around 36 weeks and you have to massage it a lot I mean A LOT ! Just relax , sit on a comfy chair and do the massage around 15 minutes every day and it’s normal not getting anything like a week or so

I was also panicking at 37 weeks that i didn’t have anything yet I remmber. But it came at 38 weeks , I literally collected it the 2 nights before my planned c section at 38+1 . I also wanted to mention as it was my first child I didn’t know the right technique so I was trying to collect it the wrong way by squeezing the nipples (which hurt like hell with no results) as soon as I googled the right technique which is by squeezing from the the middle down I think I managed to get some and it was the best thing I needed for my big hungry baby on delivery date 🥹.

Also don't forgot a warm compress, or shower and massage (heat really helps a lot, learned this from baby academy)
