Collect Colostrum

Question

Hi FTM here. Im at week 35 now and have no idea about colostrum. Anyone know when should I start to collect and how do I store them? Baby should have this for the first time?  How do I trigger colostrum? Thanks!

It’s best to wait after birth or at least till 38/39 weeks as it can trigger labour. Gently use your hand and squeeze, then use syringe to collect. Can just use 5ml syringe. Afterwards store in a seperate bag and label date and time the freeze.
