Yesssss this. "Back in my day" vibes aren't it. Edna is a twit but bleeping goooood on her for doing this. It's something she is doing that is FOR her baby, not for herself for once lol. I did this in my late pregnancy, and my boy didn't end up needing it so i donated it to a māmā who had a hard time with her milk. Liquid gold!You can express colostrum from 35w as long as everything is going well in pregnancy. You store it in the syringes in the freezer and then they are ready to go when baby arrives. Keeps around 6m from what my midwife told me

Oh man that sounds super rough! It’s def not an easy way to feed baby for some people!

“They” are midwives and obstetrics personnel who are experts in their field.
good for you that you had an easy time but some people don’t.
Again I’m all for bagging on influencers when they do stupid tit but actually good on Edna for doing this. Even if she’s not going to breastfeed or she’s going to exclusively pump. Good on her. Things change, new research is conducted and what people did “in there day” vs what some people do now are wildly different
