I have just read the pumping colostrum thread lower down the topic and wondered about doing it myself as the midwife has said they don't provide any formula even if prescribed by the paediatricians and last time due to medical reasons my DS needed top up milk as I couldn't produce enough. I don't really want to buy formula just in case as it would be nice not to have to.
So my question is....if I start pumping nowish (maybe 35 weeks), will it make my normal milk come in or will it just be colostrum until the baby is actually born????
