Want to get breastfeeding off to a good start? Or have Gestational Diabetes?
Colostrum collecting / Colostrum harvesting is a fantastic way to relieve the pressure of breastfeeding and helps you get things off to a successful start!
If you’ve had a low-risk pregnancy and would like to breastfeed your baby, it’s useful to try Colostrum harvesting. Colostrum harvesting is achieved by using hand expressing techniques to obtain Colostrum from your breasts. Colostrum is also known as liquid gold; it is really concentrated milk that contains both nutrients and antibodies which are amazing for your baby.
You can start collecting and storing colostrum from 37 weeks gestation, and can continue after birth up until your milk comes in. Having a supply of colostrum can help you and your baby in many ways. If your baby is sleepy or having difficulty getting started, colostrum can give them the energy they need to start breastfeeding and this will help you by relieving any stress, anxiety or pressure you may feel. If you are unsure if your pregnancy is low risk, please speak to your midwife.
This kit includes:
- 10 x 1ml Enteral Syringes
- 10 x ENFit® ISOSAF syringe caps for storage
- 2 x Bamboo Bonding heart patches
- 10 x Freezable identification labels
- A detailed guide on how to hand express
