Pumping colostrum during pregnancy? Does it increase milk supply after birth?

Catrina

Hey moms! After my first pregnancy I didn't produce any breast milk (like at all). And I just read about pumping colostrum during pregnancy to get a supply started or to donate, etc.

I was wondering if you all thought this would increase my chances to produce milk after baby is born?

I haven't done it yet, but I do have a pump to use. So idk if I'll even get any colostrum.

What do you think about it?
