Question

Hello mama bears.  I am 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant and my boob's are leaking  like faucets with colostrum and some milk like substance my question for you ladies is should I express this and toss it or express it and freeze it for my little one they suspect she will be here between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I know sometime colostrum is very beneficial for newborns especially preemies. Any ideas?

Answer

They say not to start pumping - it can cause premature labour. I'd talk to your ob first.

Answer

To be safe, you need to talk to your ob/midwife or a lactation specialist.

I don't think there'd be a problem starting around 37 or 38 weeks, but I wouldn't start now.

Answer

I don't see an issue collecting it if you can without pumping.

Answer

Not a good idea to start pumping. Can cause premature labor. Talk to your dr. Your body will make colostrum for the baby so there's no need to worry

Answer

I would definitely ask your ob or midwife, and maybe try talking to a lactstion consultant...they will definitely have the best answer for you.
