Storing of colostrum

Any mommies above 36 weeks are/have been expressing and storing their colostrum for their newborn already? I started since 37 weeks and so far, I've saved up a total of 120ml of colostrum as of today, 13th march. Since I'm due today and baby's not ready to come out yet, I'm hoping to save as much as possible. So exciting!

I’ve did start storing since week 37. Expressing around 1ml every 2 days. Tryna do it slow and steady. Baby gonna be due in 10 days time. Pretty much exciting too. 🥰

May I know how do you store your colostrum? I’m in my 37 weeks ++ and started to feel colostrum leaking
