Can someone please educate me on collecting colostrum. I’m scared with this formula shortage & scared my milk won’t come in until days or more later.

When do I start collecting?

How do I collect it? (Pump? Syringe?)

If I try to collect throughout the day but only get a little, can I mix it together to get the right amount in one syringe (like when you pump milk)

Do I bring it with me to the hospital when I go into labor?

Will the hospital have a place to store it for me?
