I checked the ABA website but the directions were all a bit sketchy and referred more to expressing milk than colostrum. Haven't checked You Tube..that's a great idea...thanks for that.
My point in pre expressing now is the time he will be in special care will be before my milk comes in and also I will be having a scheduled caeser so I may not be able to express straight away after he is born, that will depend on the nurses in theatre recovery and also how I respond to all the drugs etc etc. I will also be struggling myself to readjust to some major major changes in my insulin needs as soon as the placenta is delivered and trying to express too much straight after the birth may cause issues whilst I am resorting out my own balance of lovely hormones and dealing with potential hypos etc!.....I just want to have a supply on hand as it is almost a certainly he will have at least one hypo and need to be force fed by either tube or syringe to stabilise his sugars...I would rather it is my liquid gold than formula......
