    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

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
