How many colostrum syringes is it ok to ask for from the midwife? I’m 37+6 and I’ve already used the 8 1ml syringes I was given at my last appointment. The last couple of times of expressing I could have easily don’t more - I think probably 5ml from each session if I’d had enough storage. I could easily get through all 8 syringes in two days at the moment and all being well I won’t be seeing the midwife for another two weeks so would like quite a few of them. But not sure if midwives are limited to what they can give away.
