That is a normal amount - you're doing great. All mums will only express really small volumes on the first few days. It is all the babies need. Just keep on doing what you've been doing, expressing really regularly and the volume will increase and change to milk. Your body will do all the milk making, just keep on expressing
thanks kiwimummy one of the SCN people is driving me nuts i just went down to take the colostrum i mentioned before as its been 3 hours and she starts not having a go but being a bit patronising "its really important we get this and we need to get more of it we have to take the drips off soon you'll have nothing to feed them" had me in tears back to my bed but im determind we will successfully feed yes this maybe a hurdle but we will clear it!
Is there a good middie you like, who has b/f or expressing experince babe?? With Kane, I had a great middie who "man handled" the "girls" for me!! She expressed my colostrum for me, and she was MUCH better than me at it!! Once your milk comes in, you'll be fine my love!!!! I too only had a couple of drops in a little cup thing at first.. you'll be great sweets, give yourself some time lovey!! xoxoxoxo
