Is it Possible to Express Colostrum During Pregnancy?

Colostrum is the first fluid made by the breasts from around 16 weeks of pregnancy. Some women don’t realise their breasts are producing colostrum until they notice dried yellow crusts on their nipples, or their breasts start to leak. It is possible to express your colostrum while you are still pregnant and freeze it so you can feed it to your newborn baby. It is important to note however, that it’s not essential or necessary for all women.

Food Safety for Babies and Young Children

Food safety is important at all ages and stages of life, but for babies and young children it’s particularly wise for parents to be careful about their food. Babies have immature digestion and immune systems and can become sick very easily if they eat contaminated food. Babies can also take longer to recover than adults do and develop complications if they’ve been unwell.

Our Baby Bundle includes a detailed guide for new parents covering childbirth, feeding, sleep, settling, and infant CPR. This bundle combines four comprehensive courses to support you through pregnancy, birth, and your baby’s first 12 months.

All course materials are available fully online after purchase, giving you the flexibility to access the content whenever you need it.
