Colostrum harvesting prior to birth

[loopylou1984]

Hi all

I have been advised to start collecting colostrum for my twins who will be born at 34 weeks. The problem is I'm getting nothing!
Can anyone help/share their story of how long it took to see results.... is it possible my boobs just don't work?! Any tips welcome, I already started with a warm bath and massage, plus I had a scan pic and baby clothes with me while trying.

Thank you in advance

Just wanted to update the thread in case anyone comes across it in future searches!

After seeing the breast feeding specialists things have been much more successful.
It's really important to make sure your thumb and fingers are opposite each other with the nipple in the middle. The action is press back and pinch together. 1 thing that surprised me after watching the videos was how long you had to hold the pinch for. All the videos I saw online showed more of a pumping action, but the midwife told me to hold the pinch for around 15 seconds!!

Top tip : file your nails down! They stop you from pressing hard enough! X
