If you try expressing your breast now (press from the base of the breast and firmly slide toward the nipple) you might get a drop or two of a yellow, sticky liquid. That's colostrum ☺️. Try latching the baby as soon as baby comes out and expressing with your hand! At first you won't get much but it's OK. Breastfeeding will be challenging but there's a lot of support online and it will be hugely rewarding so jia you and all the best!
