Advice to follow??

I don't even understand what she means by that you don't have a say if you produce colostrum before bubs is born or not and it has nothing to do with how much milk you make.

Every baby is different so for me I looked at every picture I could get my hands on of breastfeeding babies and each was latched on differently so I tried them all until I got one that suited us. If it works for you don't let anyone tell you what you are doing is wrong.

You are doing the right thing reading up before bubs is born because after bubs is born every time you think about bubs feeding you get a milk let down which can be painful.

Yes i wondered myself as it sounded a little bizzare to me and she also mentioned about storing it in icecube trays in in case of emergancies??? I tried to massage tem a little & a teeny tiny bit came out but now they are quite sore for the rest of the day so am reluctant to try again unless its proven to be helpful. Will also ask my midwife but i dont see her till the 22nd and it defiantely isnt a question that I would want to bother her with (if you know what i mean)

It doesnt sound right to me....but i would agree that rolling the nipples now if inverted etc would help??? maybe she was meaning that...altho talk of freezing colostrum??????
I have friend that never showed her boobs to her MW and when bubs came she struggled to BF as her nipples were inverted and noone knew and made life very hard for her...if she had done something before hand it may have helped?
I squeezed mine one time...got some out and like you paid for it for rest of the time so i am leaving well enough alone...let alone getting enough out to freeze???

No, there is absolutely nothing you can do, even the rubbing nipples with a dry towel is a painful old wives tale. Ask your midwife if you have any worries about inverted nipples etc. Like Haleighs mum said, if you do leak, you could rub colostrum on them, and b/m after you get it in does help, but basically there is nothing you can/should/need to do to "prepare". Remember, it is perfectly natural! (and yep, it is often difficult and sore in the beginning and that is normal as well! )

It sounds like rubbish to me.
I asked my midwife when I was preg with Benjy if there was anything I could do to prepare them as I'd had awful cracking and bleeding when trying breastfeed Ella. She said gently rolling them might help but that was all.

Tips to help with breastfeeding;

Breastfeeding hurts!! For the first 4 weeks or so it is normal to have sore grazed nipples but it does get better.
(If it is really sore though, get your midwife to watch you latching Bub as often as you can while you're establishing b/f. Pain can also mean they're not latching on properly)

Purelan or similar is great for sore nipples but don't use too much or bubs can have trouble latching on.

Make sure you've got a comfy chair with lots of support to breastfeed at home in. You'll be doing it so often in the first couple of months that without proper support you can get very sore neck and shoulders if you're not sitting properly.

Those are the things I remember having trouble with... Hope that helps!

DON'T EXPRESS COLOSTRUM!!!!!! Expressing releases hormones that can stimulate contractions and start early labor!

We had to syringe-feed Sienna too - I remember how frustrating it was to only be able to express 2-3ml at a time. Then when my milk came in I was pumping 600 ml at a time!

we syringe fed colostrum to haleigh to cause I couldnt get her on me as her first feed she didnt latch right and I ended up with a kinda hicky thing on the side and it hurt everytime we tried to latch her.
I agree it does hurt for the first while, I was in agony until HAleigh drew out my nipple but once she drew it out I was fine (the curse of flat ones),
I also agree with getitng a tripillow or breastfeeidng pillow they are great,
I didnt think you could even express enough colostrum to store in a freezer, man they could barely get any outa me, my milk luckily came throguh by the next day as Haleigh was so hungry and wanted mroe than the colostrum.
