Antenatal colostrum collection
Did you know that we encourage all women to try to collect colostrum during pregnancy?
Regardless of how you choose to feed your baby, colostrum is the first milk that you produce from during pregnancy.
Colostrum is the perfect first food for your baby.
It is packed with valuable nutrition and protection for your newborn baby and has a number of health benefits, including protection from a number of harmful infections and diseases.
