Love this!! I had no idea about harvesting colostrum when I was pregnant last year, and it definitely would have eased some stress to have some in the freezer ready and waiting when we brought the baby home and she was having trouble latching! Definitely something I would keep in mind the next time inshaAllah.
Thank you! It’s definitely a whirlwind those first few weeks for everyone, and the last thing you’re thinking of is expressing milk when baby is cluster feeding every half hour. Harvesting should get more attention imo! Having a back up option that gives baby the same benefits when you’re exhausted and worried can truly ease your mind and body. Alhamdulilah for this miracle!
