Has anyone had much luck with colostrum harvesting? I set myself up this afternoon in the nursery, with relaxing music and soft lighting and lots of squishy baby thoughts...and managed 0.1ml before my boobs were like "nah" 🫠
Anyone got any tips or is it a case of just persevering?
Anyone got any tips or is it a case of just persevering?
Just persevering! I got about 0.2ml on the first day, then 0.4ml on the second, 0.7ml on the third, now filling two syringes a day - try having a warm compress and alternate it between breasts (put it on the one you're not using at that moment). I also find sitting on the birthing ball helps as baby moves lower down into my pelvis and releases the necessary hormones. Or try it straight after a warm bath or shower? Basically, just make sure you're warm.
That's super helpful thank you. I'll try again tomorrow and use a warm compress and see how I get on.
Hope you're ok, I think we have very similar due dates!
I'm good! 39+1 today and had confirmation that if she's not here by the 14th, that's when I'll be induced (due the 4th). She knows how to get herself down into my pelvis, just doesn't care enough to get out
lots of bouncing and colostrum harvesting in my next few days.Just to add for nurseries, you can check when you will get your free hours from 9 months here,

Anyone know if the rules about nurseries for 2 year old free hours etc are changing for Scotland? Find it so hard to get a straight answer online and finding it all so confusing
Anyone allergic to going to work Christmas parties? I feel nearly obliged to turn up but the idea of finger food I'm unlikely able to have and a few drinks is not my idea of a good time
Sadly I have a scan an hour before my Christmas party starts so I won’t be going… boohoo
if you don’t want to go, don’t go.Majorly allergic
my team are at an awards ceremony tonight, and I feasibly could've gone but noped straight out 
play the pregnancy card!@CallMeHollywood and @kayefeluu20 ye are dead right and I know I won't be missed to be honest as I only started the job in march. But I was asked straight out today was I going by the person organising it and I just want to say no but I didn't give a straight answer a it's the people pleaser in me I never put myself first and just agree.. 
And if I hear one more time oh you need to enjoy it now before baby comes.. I never really enjoyed going to these nights unless I get properly fed in my own plate.. I despise finger food and piss hands

I despise finger food and piss hands Omg I hate the "you need to enjoy it now" brigade, feel the exact same as you! I'd rather enjoy my sofa & a share bag of Haribo tangfastics, thanks very much x@CallMeHollywood and @kayefeluu20 ye are dead right and I know I won't be missed to be honest as I only started the job in march.

They've changed tangfantics recently here they don't taste as dizzy or something and it's really disappointing
I was very upset by it as they're my fave jelly!!I’ve already decided I’m going to be too tired that night
Such a shame lolIf anyone is thinking of getting the tutti bambini next to me that converts into a cot. DO NOT DO IT. I have spent hours trying to convert it, and madam had to sleep on the bed because obviously nowhere else to sleep. It’s such a faff, just buy a separate cot. I thought I was being smart. Spoiler alert, I was not.
Has YouTube yielded any help?
To go back to colostrum harvesting - make sure you try to do it similar times every day I usually do it at this time but did it about 5 hours earlier and just looked down and... well you can guess so now having to go again
I usually do it at this time but did it about 5 hours earlier and just looked down and... well you can guess so now having to go againYes and it should have been my first port of call as it was much more useful than the instructions themselves. Although the people on the video made a lot of it look much quicker/easier than it was
I was at a course at the weekend they said do it after a warm shower?To go back to colostrum harvesting - make sure you try to do it similar times every day
