Expressing colostrum during pregnancy - question

I might sound a bit thick here, I'm 35 weeks pregnant and leaking a lot so decided to try and store some. My midwife gave me some sterile pots and syringes today, said to express into the pot then suck into the syringe, all fine.

Now I'm home I'm wondering if the colostrum leaks down my boob into the pot, is it then contaminated? I don't have filthy boobs they are regularly showered I'm just curious whether it's not meant to come into contact with anything other than the sterile pot/syringe?

Hi @Nobhobs,

We've put together some useful info on breastfeeding and expressing breast milk - please do take a look.

Hopefully there'll be some Mumsnetters along shortly with some more advice. Brew
