Slightly tmi but I’ve been leaking since about 16 weeks now 😬 with Charlie I didn’t have anything until 38 weeks. It’s now well established colostrum, is it worth expressing and storing or would you not bother? I looked online and it says colostrum can be stored for 6 months in the freezer. Just seems a shame for all this liquid gold to be going to waste in my bra 🤣

Pretty sure they don't advise expressing until term as it can trigger early labour 🤔
Shame for it to go to waste though x

I wouldn’t express but you can try to collect any with a syringe or in a Hakka pump to store xx

I was the same with my youngest. Was leaking from very early on. I still produced plenty of colostrum after Remy was born. I wouldn’t worry too much.

@kerryy23, @ezchaz, @gen87, thanks ladies, I will leave it alone 😬

You can buy nipple shells, you pop them in your bra and they will collect colostrum throughout the day without stimulating your nipples :)
