Pump now or wait

Hi All, I just gave birth last night but my baby is under observation due to my diabetes. Should I start pumping now or wait till my baby latches on me so that he can get the colostrum that is very good for him? Thanks in advanced!

Pumping wont work. Will end up wasting colostrum as it will be stuck to the flange. Need to squeeze and suck with syringe. The nurse will teach you the right method and provide u with free syringes.
