Colostrum harvesting.
So I've just tried for the first time and managed to get some from my right boob but when I just went to do my left one, I have an inverted nipple so when I was massaging my boob the nipple kept going back inside and so I was unable to get anything from it.
Does anyone else have this issue and know a way around it at all?

@Claire yeah I managed to get it from my right but cos of my left one being inverted it just kept going back in when I was massaging it 😂
@Hayley how did you manage to get it on your first try? I’ve been doing it several days without anything. Are you pressing in a particular way or anything please? How many weeks are you?
@Louise I'm 37+1 and I like stimulated my boob first with my knuckles and then my nipple with my finger and thumb and then I did the C shape with my hand and massaged close to the nipple and managed to get some. It wasn't loads, but I'm gonna do a bit more later on and hopefully get some more 😊

I don’t have an inverted nipple but I haven’t managed to get any colostrum from the left side, only the right
