I've been advised to do this (as the baby has a cleft lip and probably a cleft palate) - have had a few goes now and am getting the hang of getting the colostrum out. My midwife gave me some tiny syringes (1ml each) but I'm not really sure how much to aim to express?
I will probably use up my remaining syringes (will be 5 in total) before my next appointment on Tuesday and will ask for some more then but I'd find it useful to have some idea of what would be a good amount to aim for.
