Colostrum harvesting is a way to prepare for breastfeeding before your baby arrives.

It is using the skill of hand expressing to collect colostrum (1st milk) from 36 weeks onwards.

Why harvest colostrum?

● Builds confidence in breastfeeding

● Helps you get familiar with your breasts before breastfeeding

● Collect colostrum to give to your baby in the early days

● Helps transition your colostrum to more mature milk earlier once you deliver
