✨ Every pregnant mum should know how to do this before birth...
Learning how to hand express colostrum can help you feel more prepared, more confident, and ready for those first precious feeds. 💛
Colostrum is often called liquid gold because it’s packed with antibodies and nutrients that help protect your baby from the moment they’re born.
As midwives, we recommend discussing antenatal expressing with your healthcare provider. For many pregnancies, it’s appropriate to begin from around 36 weeks if there are no medical reasons not to.
In this video, I’m showing you exactly how to hand express colostrum step by step so you can feel confident before your baby arrives.
✨ Save this to watch again when you’re closer to birth.
🤍 Send it to an expecting mum who’ll thank you later.
