How many colostrum syringes

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.

I was similar and could easily produce 5ml
twice a day. I ended up buying my own online in a bulk box (cheaper than the colostrum kits) but when I went into hospital to have DD and took them with me the midwife told me I could have called the infant feeding team at the hospital who would give me as many as needed.

Thanks, do you have a link to what you bought? Things like Momcozy or My Expert Midwife ones seems so expensive for what they are!
