ds was born at 36 weeks and whisked off to scbu, had low blood sugar etc, and my milk took five days to come in and i was hand expressing and pumping to very little yield.
Dc2 due in a couple of weeks, so on advice of hv i am trying to hand express some colostrum into 1ml syringes, problem is i am only getting two or three drops from each session, so at the end of session 3, i have around 0.15ml of colustrum.
Please could someone advise on how often i should be trying, if there is a special technique for extracting colustrum, as i, managed fine hand expressing for ds but never had much succes with colustrum.
Any hints tips etc very welcome?
