So let me get this straight... My boobs will waste my colostrum by leaking but when I'm trying to express for a valid reason all I get is a few drops 😓 buying my pump tonight 🙈
Did u not get given a Gd colostrum express syringe kit? If not u can buy some 1ml syringes from the chemist and hand express into the syringe drop by drop and when the time passes for that collection u put back into the syringe cover the paper thing put in a zip lock freezer bag and freeze them. If try putting warm compresses on your boobs for a bit first. One at a time. And then massage them. Sometimes u may only get a few drops but that is fine. A breast pump isn't advisable as u will loose those few drops within the chambers and there won't be much liquid in the base to then store. Some women can get a ml or two a day and others it's literally 0. Something. But that doesn't matter as even the smallest amounts will help baby when delivered
Thanks @suzie80 I'll have a look as midwife only mentioned hand expression x
@mummyto1soon2be2, I was told to try and express some of the colostrum before baby comes because of my gestational diabetes x
Use the syringe method of u look online it shows u how u can do it Hun u won't waste anything then 😃
your milk won't be established yet as baby isn't here, the milk comes when baby needs it, I was told with my son not to start expressing til he was 2 weeks old so he could establish my milk, and you don't waste your colostrum your body produces the correct amount after Labour for baby x
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
❤️Getting to know you❤️
Since our May group is growing strong and we have a lot of new mommies joining and sharing their bfp's...Thought it will be fun to get to know each other as we all share our pregnancy journey!
No but I am going to ask for one when I see her this Thursday. I missed the actual class so had only spoken to the midwife and it's highly likely that I will miss the next class too because OH will be away and it's at 7pm 😞 I didn't think it would of been this difficult but my memories are from expressing breast milk which is very different. Thank for the advice, seems I'll need OH help to collect drops as they come out x @suzie80
