Default Expressing colostrum before birth?

PS...Brigitte. I would be willing to FedEx you some cold packed (maybe not frozen,
I seem to have lipase issues...) milk, tho obviously not colostrum, if you get that
far and have none in the freezer. You might not even have the need to use it, cuz
you're not gonna have problems, right?? :-)


Gosh! That's awfully generous Dawn! :-)


Well, seriously, if I can help you rest easy that your babe won't get formula, if only
because the nurses will lay off if they know you have a "stash" they could use, then
sure, I'll do it!

I believe Vancouver has a milk bank.


Well, that would avoid a trip over the Rockies, anyhow.

Good luck finding out what you need to know. It sort of sounds like if you aren't
tandeming, no one really knows about pumping colostrum. How long have the twins been
weaned?
